Alfred R. Mele explores the concept of free will and its relationship to moral responsibility, offering two theories to accommodate differing viewpoints. He counters neuroscientific arguments against free will and emphasizes that scientific data does not support the idea that it is an illusion.
Last week, Stanford neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky came on the show to make the case that free will does not exist. Today, Alfred Mele, a professor of philosophy at Florida State University, is here to argue the opposite.
