Freewill has been a topic of discussion for millennia and lively debate continues to this very day. The definition we will use for this discussion is a variant of Libertarian freewill: the power to make decisions or perform actions independently of any prior event or state of the universe. The relevance of this fascinating topic cannot be overstated. The very nature of how we conceptualize ourselves, others, and humans, in sum, is strongly influenced by a "sense" of our being capable of “freely choosing” to think, feel, behave based solely on decisions “we make.” You were (re)introduced to the topic by way of a Crash Course Philosophy video in the first module. An additional video interview on the topic with neuroscientist Dr. Christof Koch can be found in the current Additional Materials folder. Referencing these videos and (any of the course) lectures, provide some perspectives that you have on the topic of freewill. Critically examine how you have established the views that you have on the topic. What has contributed to your perspectives? Finally, provide a few thoughts on how you might establish an accurate understanding about how and why you think, feel, and behave as do. How might analyzing where your brain has been and how it has been modified over the trajectory of your life play? For this post, you may reference one additional outside resource; however, you must still provide two substantive references to course materials (i.e., lectures and additional module materials). Please be certain that any outside resource is a principal source (i.e., do not reference another individual’s opinion, e.g., a blog on the topic). If you have any questions about the suitability of an outside resource, you are certainly welcome to check with me before you reference it.
