The concept of luck plays an important role in debates concerning free will and moral responsibility. It may seem that if our actions are not determined, they are too luck-based to be free. Neil Levy presents an original account of luck and argues that it undermines our freedom and moral responsibility no matter whether determinism is true or not.
