Me, Myself, and Free Will
Me, Myself, and Free Will

HNR 301/PHI 340 Course Description

In this course we'll look at what it might mean to have free will and whether we are free in any significant sense. Tied to this will be questions about the nature and existence of selves or persons. What are selves? Where does one's sense of self come from? Does science reasonably suggest that our actions are all determined and that our sense of self is illusory? What are the implications for moral responsibility and for planning the future? We'll explore the issues through science, philosophy, literature and film.
