| Description | One of the most important issues concerning free will is called "The Compatibility Question". It deals with the problem whether free will and moral responsibility are compatible with the validity of determinism. There is a wide variety of positions on that issue, but just as other great questions in philosophy, this one also remains open so far. However, with the new millennium, a new philosophical movement comes on the scene - Experimental Philosophy. My goal is to show whether the experimental approach is (or at least could be) a solution to The Compatibility Question. And if it is not – is it meaningful to consider these issues through experimental methods? |
