In this episode, we discuss bioscientific and Islamic views on free will and human agency. Dr. Aasim Padela speaks with leading experts about:
● Genetic predispositions and how they shape human behavior
● Whether humans have choice and agency or are constrained by biology and circumstance
● How beliefs about free will (or lack of it) affect views on morality and justice Through real-world cases and deep reflection, we’ll investigate how science, religion, and ethics intersect in answering one of humanity’s oldest questions: Do we have free will?
