Grading Freedom: Free Will and Recursive Decision-making
Is internal randomness in the process of human decision-making a problem or a requirement for freedom of the will? To what extent is a person responsible for the motives that ultimately moves him?
The aim of this project is to:
1) Investigate the ordinary folk-conceptions of free will
2) Evaluate whether contemporary models of the mechanisms underlying voluntary action confirm or problematize free will – especially in light of “the problem of luck”
3) to develop an understanding of free will that accounts for randomness in the mechanisms underlying human action
