«Das Handwerk der Freiheit» is the philosophical essay by Peter Bieri, published by Carl Hanser Verlag in hardcover (445 pages, in German).
Does absolute freedom of the will exist? Peter Bieri tackles the problem with scenes and examples, using Raskolnikov from 'Crime and Punishment' as a guiding thread. He defends compatibilism: the free will is not without conditions, but is distinguished by being determined by one's own judgment, and that freedom can be developed.
Subtitled 'Über die Entdeckung des eigenen Willens', it appeared in 2001 and is framed within analytic philosophy.
For readers curious about philosophy who want to approach the problem of free will without prior training, with clear language and narrative examples.
