Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will | Robert Sapolsky
from Bookcast · host John Castle
Robert Sapolsky's Determined presents a scientific and philosophical case against free will. Sapolsky argues that human behavior is determined by a complex interplay of genetics, environment, and biological factors, none of which are under conscious control. The book explores various scientific studies supporting determinism and addresses counterarguments, including those based on the concepts of intention and emergent complexity. Ultimately, Sapolsky challenges traditional notions of moral responsibility and the implications of a world without free will. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
