Determinism in Philosophy - Correctly Understanding the Determinism vs Free Will Argument
Показать описание
The question of whether we have free will or not is one of the most important and most confusing today.
You’ve probably watched videos or read articles stating that even if one were not to have any free will and the universe is fully deterministic, we shouldn’t worry about it. Those arguments couldn’t be more incorrect. If free will can be proven not to exist in any form or philosophy, which I’m going to take a look at in this video, it would have drastic ethical consequences for society.
Part of the confusion regarding the free will vs. determinism debate is that many experts, philosophers, physicists, and others don’t clearly understand the question’s semantics, what we even mean by free will vs. determinism.
This video will go over determinism in philosophy and analyze the free will vs determinism question.
