Philosophy for Lunch
March 30: Responsibility and Free Will
You tend to believe that you are free to act in one way or another (free to decide, e.g., whether or not to return a lost wallet that you find in a classroom). But are you free? There are some compelling reasons to think that you are not free. And if you are not free, how can you be held responsible for your actions? At this P4L we will read and discuss Galen Strawson’s engaging way of explaining this problem of free will and moral responsibility.
Thursdays - 11:45–12:45 PM
Schmitt Hall, room 242 (the Philosophy department seminar room)
