Ep. 245 - Flickers of Freedom Don't Save Us from Frankfurt Cases w/Dr. Taylor Cyr

In episode 245 of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined once again by Dr. Taylor Cyr of the Free Will Show. This time we discuss Frankfurt style cases in the free will and moral responsibility literature and discuss Taylor's paper against several "flickers of freedom" theorists who want to save the principle of alternate possibilities from Frankfurt via flickers of freedom. Just watch the video, Taylor will explain it all! Check the time stamps for the full topic list.
