ABSTRACT
In his paper, McCann examines the origin and the development of the gap between naturalism and free will, the efforts to bridge it, and how such efforts have been received in analytic philosophy. His analysis has the merit of reminding us that analogous versions of the problem now confronting us in updated manner have already emerged in other cultural settings. This updating largely concerns the developments in science, which, as some claim, is now able to incorporate uncertainty with regard to free will as well as it is able to handle quantum uncertainty.
