Join us for an insightful conversation with Leslie Allan as we delve into the intricacies of freedom and free will. In this interview, we explore the meanings and implications of freedom and free will, examining how randomness, determinism, and indeterminism play into these concepts.
Leslie introduces the '4C Theory of Free Will', which .
1. absence of Compulsion;
2. absence of Control by a third party;
3. consonant with the agent's Character; and
4. Cognitive capacity to reason.
We also discuss the requirements for artificial intelligence to possess free will and the relationship between compatibilism and moral responsibility.
Our conversation extends to the ethical considerations of mind-reading technology and moral enhancement, as well as the interaction between free will and the law. We clarify the two meanings of ‘libertarian’ and how linguistic conventions shape our understanding of free will, drawing insights from the Oxford School of Normal Language Philosophy. We navigate the delicate equilibrium between freedom and compulsion and explore how modern neuroscience informs the compatibilism debate.
Leslie challenges the materialistic worldview by asking whether we are merely free-willing robots and discusses whether we can be morally good without compatibilism. We examine the role of praise, blame, and moral responsibility in compatibilism and take a critical look at Sam Harris’ dismissal of compatibilism. Finally, we explore the intricate connections between moral responsibility and determinism.
