Wie frei sind wir? Philosophische Theorien über Freiheit und Determinismus

2 hrs

Catalogue data

Abstract	We are praised for our achievements and blamed for our failures. It is presupposed that our doings are something that is up to us. "It is up to us" often expresses our attitude to treat us as free beings. But are we really free, hence responsible for our behavior? Or is our behaviour entrenched in conditions properly understood as deterministic ones?
