Kevin MItchell helping us move beyond determinism vs. indeterminism to wards an underdetermined universe where caues are constraints and these constraints can happen at multiple levels

Peter Tse starting out his talk on #freewill by outlining different concepts of causality.

Helen Steward asking "who are the agents?" at our meeting on #freewill here in the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna.

This research area is a fascinating intersection of philosophy, physics and neuroscience! Also nice to see a presentation from Trinity College Dublin.

Henry Potter presenting a conception of indeterminism where the term "underdetermined" will play an important role - or at least so he said last night, IIUC.

Stephen Mumford https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Mumford argues that indeterminism ist just a necessary, but not a sufficient criterion for Libertarian #freewill

Anne Sophie Meincke gives examples for the principle of alternative possibilities.

Kick-off of the two Distinguished Lectures on "can biology help us defend free will?"

Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses to be bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him?
-- Anthony Burgess (A Clockwork Orange)

Call for papers:

"This topical collection aims to take a fresh look at libertarianism and, more broadly, to explore the prospects for robust notions of agency and free will under indeterminism that do not run counter to science but may even be scientifically grounded. Could there be something like scientific libertarianism? What would it entail?"

Alfred Mele and Anne Sophie Meincke on #biology and #freewill:

"Strikingly, philosophers have long ignored biology when it comes to answering these questions. Instead, they have quibbled about whether and how free will might fit into a supposedly deterministic universe as studied by (classical) physics. Only recently has the debate about free will begun to open up to biological considerations"

Vienna, June 10. Live stream available and lectures will be published later:
