La science a-t-elle réfuté l'existence du libre arbitre ? Depuis les célèbres expériences de Milgram, la psychologie sociale avance que nos comportements sont largement déterminés par la situation dans laquelle nous nous trouvons plutôt que par notre conscience morale, au point que chacun de nous, placé dans certaines conditions, pourrait agir en tortionnaire. Sur un autre terrain, des expériences en neurosciences, initiées par Benjamin Libet, semblent montrer que notre cerveau déclenche nos actions avant que nous ayons conscience de vouloir les accomplir. On en a conclu à l'inexistence de la liberté humaine. Mais toutes ces expériences prouvent-elles que le libre arbitre est une illusion ?

"Eine in den letzten Jahrzehnten zunehmend verbreitete, reduktiv-naturalistische Vorstellung von der Natur, die ihre Plausibilität aus den Erfolgen der Naturwissenschaften, der Medizin und der Technik der Moderne und jüngst besonders aus den Erfolgen der Hirnforschung zieht, stellt ein christliches ebenso wie ein humanistisches Bild vom Menschen, zu dem (Willens-)Freiheit und Verantwortung gehören, in Frage. Philosoph:innen und Theolog:innen, die dennoch an (libertarischer) Willensfreiheit festhalten, greifen dazu argumentativ oft auf nur ein philosophisches Paradigma zurück. Hildegard Peters integriert breit angelegt unterschiedliche philosophische und kognitionswissenschaftliche Ansätze zu einer Gesamtperspektive auf das Thema Willensfreiheit, die einen innovativen und überzeugenden Gegenentwurf zum reduktiv-naturalistischen Menschenbild darstellt."

""You've always been the caretaker here." At the end of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, while Jack Torrence sits frozen in the center of the hotel's hedge maze, he also exists in another time, and the center of another maze. Among the photos on a white wall, the borders of which form a series of right-angle turns that recalls the hedge maze, Jack appears in picture from 1921, taking the narrative back to (before) its beginning. This recursive structure seems to indicate that the plot's contours and its ultimate outcome were determined from the outset, and plays on a family of anxieties that cinema is uniquely effective at evoking. In Fate in Film, Thomas M. Puhr sets out to identify and analyze some of the ways that film, especially the horror genre, has dealt with the tension between fate and free will. From narratives of stymied identity crises (as in Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin), to retellings of classical myth like Scorsese's take on Sisyphus in After Hours, to the biological determinism of Ari Aster's Hereditary, genre cinema has a long tradition of mobilizing cinema's capacity to evoke deterministic anxiety. In denying plots and characters any ability to choose alternative paths, these films mirror both film itself and moviegoing: viewers can only sit and watch, and only what has already been recorded, evoking a sense of stasis or entrapment alongside the standard cinema effect of movement in time. This book will collect a variety of contemporary examples of this effect, from stories of Doppelgangers (Enemy), to ones of extreme cultural displacement (Zama) and familial "eternal returns" (Us)"--

"In this little but profound volume, Robert Kane and Carolina Sartorio debate a perennial question: Do We Have Free Will? Kane introduces and defends libertarianism about free will: free will is incompatible with determinism; we are free; we are not determined. Sartorio introduces and defends compatibilism about free will: free will is compatible with determinism; we can be free even while our actions are determined through and through. Simplifying tricky terminology and complicated concepts for readers new to the debate, the authors also cover the latest developments on a controversial topic that gets us entangled in questions about blameworthiness and responsibility, coercion and control, and much more. Each author first presents their own side, and then they interact through two rounds of objections and replies. Pedagogical features include standard form arguments, section summaries, bolded key terms and principles, a glossary, and annotated reading lists. Short, lively and accessible, the debate showcases diverse and cutting-edge work on free will. As per Saul Smilansky's foreword, Kane and Sartorio, "present the readers with two things at once: an introduction to the traditional free will problem; and a demonstration of what a great yet very much alive and relevant philosophical problem is like." Key Features: Covers major concepts, views and arguments about free will in an engaging format Accessible style and pedagogical features for students and general readers Cutting-edge contributions by preeminent scholars on free will"-- "In this little but profound volume, Robert Kane and Carolina Sartorio debate a perennial question: Do We Have Free Will?
