TBD
Is it really possible for us to choose other than we do? And, if not, why should that matter?
This series explores the concept of 'determinism', and whether it holds genuine implications for our everyday lives and societies. We'll touch on the themes of moral responsibility and generosity. We'll hear from many who've been heavily involved in these debates, as well as others who are merely stakeholders on the basis of being alive.
FYI: A few bonus episodes with 'extended interviews' to be deployed in the coming weeks.
