To what extent are you free? Are you responsible for your decisions and actions? Are people to blame for their mistakes?
The topic of free will has raged on for millennia. It’s spawned determinists and dualists and compatibilists. It has repercussions for how we reward and punish people. And we still have trouble with it.
In Free Will, you’ll get arguments, ideas, opinions, and perspectives from: David Hume, John Stuart Mill, Aristotle, Friedrich Nietzsche, William James, Pierre-Simon Laplace, Arthur Schopenhauer, Leo Tolstoy, Thomas Hobbes, René Descartes, Bertrand Russell, and others.
