The Free Will Debate

Published: Jan. 27, 2010, midnight

In this show, we discuss the free will debate. We explore differing theories of agency, from chaos theory to predestination. After laying out baseline descriptions of free will and determinism, we'll be testing them for compatibility (or lack thereof) in several modes. Our discussion is grounded on the seminal article "Freedom of the Will and the Concept of a Person" by Harry Frankfurt.
