If God, being infallible, knew before your existence that you would do X, do you genuinely have the ability to avoid doing X? Cyr explores this philosophical puzzle that challenges free will, as any deviation from what God foreknows would make God wrong—an impossibility for an infallible being. 🤝 Support The Show 🤘 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Locals⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bitcoin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📚 Episode Resources (affiliate links where possible - thanks!) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Taylor's ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠ ⁠⁠The Free Will Show⁠⁠ ⁠⁠How Free Are We?⁠⁠ by Taylor Cyr & Matthew Flummer 🌐 Connect ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linktree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...2025-01-0709 minThe Socratic SessionsThe Socratic SessionsFree Will, Source Compatibilism and Frankfurt Cases w/ Taylor Cyr🔍 Overview: In this clip, philosopher Taylor Cyr unpacks Source Compatibilism through the lens of Harry Frankfurt's ground-breaking 1969 paper. We explore what it means for free will to be compatible with determinism, focusing on whether individuals can be the true instantiating agents of their decisions and their consequences. The discussion examines Frankfurt cases, which challenge the Principle of Alternative Possibilities (PAP), and how these scenarios reshape our understanding of control and moral responsibility. 🤝 Support The Show 🤘 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Locals⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bitcoin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📚 Episode Resources (affiliate links where possible - thanks!) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Taylor's ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠ ⁠⁠The Free Will Show⁠⁠ ⁠⁠How Free Are We?⁠⁠ by Taylor Cyr & Matthew Flummer 🌐 Connect ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linktree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠...2025-01-0315 minThe Socratic SessionsThe Socratic SessionsPopular Missteps: Sapolsky, Harris, and the Free Will Debate w/ Taylor Cyr🔍 Overview: In this clip, philosopher Taylor Cyr examines how incompatibilists like Robert Sapolsky and Sam Harris promote determinism whilst bypassing philosophical definitions of free will.

A majority of philosophers are compatibilists about causal determinism and moral responsibility. If you endorse causal (natural) compatibilism, should you also endorse theological compatibilism? Dr. Taylor Cyr offers an intersting argument that "Natural Compatibilists Should Be Theological Compatibilists." In this episode of the Coffee With Philosophers Podcast, we explore Dr. Cyr's article and discuss the fun and fascinating manipulation argument against compatibilism.2023-10-041h 26The Free Will ShowThe Free Will ShowEpisode 64: Moral Authority and Punishment with Victor TadrosIn this episode, we talk with Victor Tadros about moral authority (or standing) and punishment.
