Learning outcomes
|
The course is an introduction to the 20th century analytic discussions of the problem of free will. We will cover a host of free will related issues, such as free will and conflicting views about persons, the determinist question and modern science, the compatibility question and arguments for incompatibilism, classical compatibilism, new compatibilist approaches to freedom and responsibility, moral responsibility and alternative possibilities, libertarian and incompatibilist theories of free will and others.
Students will get acquainted with the main theories and debates in the analytic philosophy of free will. Emphasis will be put on critical analysis and evaluation of the relevant arguments. Students will learn to think about free will in a more subtle and conceptually sophisticated way.
