Synopsis:
Every day we seem to make all kinds of choices: some trivial, others so consequential that they change the course of one's life, or even the course of history. But are these choices really free, or are we compelled to act the way we do by factors beyond our control? Thomas Pink looks at the fundamental philosophical question of free will, critically examining the claim: If our actions are causally determined by events beyond our control, that means that we can never act freely, and so can never be held responsible for our actions.
About the Author: Thomas Pink is Lecturer in Philosophy at King's College, London. He is also an associate editor of Mind.
