Episode description

We often blame people for what they do or fail to do. But that implies that they were free to choose whether or not to act in the way they did.

In this episode of Philosophy Bites Thomas Pink, author of Free Will: A Very Short Introduction, discusses the Free Will Problem and outlines his own approach to it.
