In order to be morally responsible for our actions, we need to be free to make our own decisions. However, there are a number of possible reasons why we might not actually be as free as we think we are. In this episode, we look at the various different philosophical ideas to do with Free Will and Determinism – from William James’ Iron Block Universe, to the electrical brain stimulation experiments of Benjamin Libet and ask, ‘just how free are we?’ So grab and cuppa, and enjoy!
