Listen "Science hasn't refuted free will"
Episode Synopsis
It is often suggested that free will is an illusion and a left-over from an outdated worldview; and that the idea of free will has no place in modern science. In this talk, Christian List argues that far from undermining free will, science actually offers some arguments in its support. Christian List’s 10-Minute Talk is based on his identically-titled article published in the Boston Review in February 2020. His book, 'Why Free Will is Real' was published in 2019. Speaker: Professor Christian List FBA, Professor of Philosophy and Political Science, London School of EconomicsTranscript: • https://www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/podcasts/10-minute-talks-science-hasnt-refuted-free-will
