Closer To Truth - the 'Big Questions in Free Will' PROJECT

Free will is a mystery. We sense our will to be fully free, but science says every action is determined by a prior action. Free will affects morality, responsibility, even consciousness and theology.Show more

Free will is a perennial conundrum.

The ‘Big Questions in Free Will’ project brought together scientists, philosophers and theologians in a novel interdisciplinary initiative to develop new data and catalyze innovative ways of thinking. Here are the concluding thoughts of some of the participants. Has progress been made?

*** In January, 2010, with the support of a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation, Florida State University launched a four-year project on free will — Big Questions in Free Will — directed by Alfred R. Mele, William H. and Lucyle T. Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy at Florida State University.

The primary purpose of the project was to improve our understanding of free will in three spheres: science (especially neuroscience and social psychology); philosophy; and theology. - https://philosophyandscienceofself-control.com/previous-project-big-questions-in-free-will/
