Ep. 28 - Eddy Nahmias: Neuroscience as a (Non) Threat to Free Will

43 minutes

I spoke with the philosopher Eddy Nahmias about his work in Free Will and Moral Responsibility. What type of freedom do we have, or want to have? And does the increasing understanding of the brain threaten our sense of acting freely? Find out all this and more in my talk with Eddy. We use two paper of his as background for the conversation: "Your Brain as the Source of Free Will Worth Wanting" and "Why ‘Willusionism’ Leads to ‘Bad Results.’"
