Freedom, Blame, and Resentment
from Billboards Hosted by Philosophy Talk
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 "Reflection and Responsibility."
