Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
In this paper I discuss naturalistic, transcendentalist and ethical approaches to the problem of free will. After a brief introduction to the libertarian/compatibilist debate, I show in what sense the notion of determinism and indeterminism on which it is based presupposes a philosophical position on the nature of laws of nature. After introducing van Inwagen’s consequent argument, I argue that Humean attempt to solve it fails it because the humean approach to laws is untenable and because the laws of nature do not depend on us in the sense advocated by humeans. In the last part of the paper, I claim that and ontology of dispositions opens the way to what is most important in human freedom, namely the ability to act in a certain way as in virtue centered morality, and in the capability approach already defended by Sen and Nussbaum.
