Taylor Cyr on Divine Foreknowledge and Determinism
🔍 Overview: In this clip, philosopher Taylor Cyr examines the argument for determinism rooted in Divine Foreknowledge. 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!)

Free 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!)

Popular 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.

Coffee With Philosophers
Natural Compatibilists Should Be Theological Compatibilists (Dr. Taylor Cyr) | EP. 3
Theological compatibilism is the thesis that God decreeing everything that will happen is compatible with you acting freely and being morally responsible for what you do. 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.
