About the Course

In this course, we will dismantle arguments against free will from a philosophical perspective. Module one of the course will help you discover the differences between freedom from constraint and freedom within constraint. It will also help you to define truth and reality as they relate to our perceptions. The second module will explore concepts such as causation and criterial causations. You will be able to define consciousness as it relates to our mental and physical worlds. The third and the final module of this course will explore the core idea behind free will and analyze why arguments for or against free will are categorized in terms of their compatibility with determinism. You will also be able to compare the two types of libertarian free will....

Experiencing This Class: Absolutely loved this course. Got a little lost in terminology towards the end, but that's on me. The concepts reviewed here are A+. This course should be required reading for the industrial psychologists are the world who conveniently have a lot of opinions around what fate is. This course emphasizes the value fo thinking for oneselves. We need a shot of this sort of thinking in society. Coursera as a Platform: Regarding the prompts in the middle of a lecture, I wish those were less present as it makes it hard to listen to the lectures on the road. Regarding the tests, much like other good schools, they almost sound like GenAI prompt answers. Maybe I'll write my own Coursera and go out to school's a sell it, because even the navigation of this tool is sub-par, and yet here we get to take an Ivy League class online for a very small price.. The Content: But I can get over all of that, because Professor Tze's content overall is just amazing. Last Comment: I found Professor Tse on Youtube, too. I might go there while driving in the future, so the lectures aren't interrupted while driving. Couldn't get enough of his thoughts on free will, even if I only understand a fraction of what he is saying.

Covers a lot of ground in free will, and it's philosophy from the perspective of a neuroscientist.
