PHI 026 - (HP) Free Will and Responsibility

Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
Moral responsibility requires free choice; if you were unable to do anything other than what you did, then you can’t be held morally responsible for it. But free choice seems impossible. The world operates by its own principles, whether those are the laws of physics, the dictates of a deity, or the operations of your own brain. This course analyzes responses to this problem, from accepting a world without freedom to arguing that human beings are radically not part of the world.
