課程概述 |
We will read Alfred Mele’s book Free Will and Luck, Oxford University Press 2006. Mele is a compatibilist and has written extensively on free will and agency, also in connection with neuroscience. In the preface to his book, he writes: “I believe that human beings sometimes act freely and are morally responsible for what they do. If free will is the power to act freely, then I believe in free will. In this book I try to make salient the most difficult salient problems that my belief encounters, and I develop solutions to those problems. I also expose some pseudo-problems along the way.” The book has eight chapters and a little over 200 pages. It will be the main text for our course. We might also read material from other books by Mele, especially his earlier 1995 Autonomous Agents. |
課程目標 |
The students will learn about agency, free will, moral responsibility, and about connections with neuroscience. They will learn how to analyze arguments, assumptions, and general positions. They will learn how to write summaries and how to develop and present their own views. They will improve their English. |
