Philosophy of Mind and Theism
<p>Theism is the position that an immensely powerful immaterial mind created and governs the universe. But what is an immaterial mind? In this talk, James Fodor considers this question in the light of cognitive science, considering the various aspects and functions that make up a mind. He argues that it is very difficult to reconcile most of what is currently known about minds with the idea that they can exist without a material substrate, especially when combined with the various traits that theists claim of the divine mind. James therefore suggests that the notion of an all-powerful and all-knowing immaterial mind may be conceptually incoherent.</p><p>Credit to https://www.FesliyanStudios.com for the background music.</p>

Sam Harris on Free Will
<p>Sam Harris' little book on Free Will was published in 2012, gaining a receptive response from scientifically-minded followers. In this first part of a two part series, Allan will put Harris' two key arguments against the human capacity for free will under the microscope. Harris' first point is that we could not have behaved differently than we in fact did. His second appeals to his introspecting that we are not the conscious source of our choices and actions. Allan’s full critique, 'Sam Harris, Free Will and Moral Responsibility', is at <a href="https://www.rationalrealm.com/philosophy/metaphysics/sam-harris-free-will-morality.html" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.rationalrealm.com/philosophy/metaphysics/sam-harris-free-will-morality.html</a> His shorter book review of Harris' book is at <a href="https://www.rationalrealm.com/philosophy/reviews/sam-harris-free-will.html" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.rationalrealm.com/philosophy/reviews/sam-harris-free-will.html</a></p> <p><br /></p> <p>Credit to https://www.FesliyanStudios.com for the background music.</p>
