Högre seminariet i filosofi bjuder in till seminarium med Christian Löw. Seminariet har den engelska titeln: "Free Will, Determinism, and the Fixity of the Past".
Abstract (på engelska): An influential argument for the incompatibility of free will and determinism goes as follows: If determinism is true, then our actions are the consequences of the laws of nature and events in the distant past. However, neither the laws of nature nor the distant past are up to us. Hence, if determinism is true, our actions are also not up to us and so we do not have free will. This is the so-called “Consequence argument.” In this talk, I will examine the prospects of rejecting the Consequence argument by denying the premise that the distant past is not up to us.
