281: Freedom, Blame, and Resentment

from Philosophy Talk Starters Hosted by Philosophy Talk Starters

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/freedom-blame-and-resentment When someone acts without regard for our feelings or needs, a natural response is to feel resentment toward that person. But is that a rational response? What if there's no such thing as free will? Is blame still appropriate in a deterministic universe? Or are we simply genetically programmed to respond emotionally to perceived injuries? John and Ken talk freely with Pamela Hieronymi from UCLA, author of "The Will as Reason."
