Symposium
Free Will and Causation
→
One major challenge philosophers face in order to understand human free will is to locate it within the realm of natural causes: is free agency compatible or incompatible with the fabric of causal relations? Does free will entail a different type of causation, or can we view it in terms of natural causes? Should we favor agent rather than event causation? Answering such questions depends largely on the-Humean, Reidian, neo-Aristotelian, etc.-account of causation one adopts.
The aim of the conference is to investigate such issues in the light of the most recent theories of free will and causation.
