Common Sense

Skravleklassen

Sturla rightfully got some friendly critique from Ole Martin Moen (Oxford/Oslo Met) for only having skeptics on discussing free will and moral responsibility and took it as a challenge. In this episode he is talking to philsophy professor Eddy Nahmias (Georgia State) about the compatibalist view, and about the view that one can be punished solely to inflict harm on wrongdoers. Eddy is explaining this view in a most sympathetic and commonsensical manner and as it turns out the two fonds more common ground than points of contention. As promised by his «friends» from the skeptic side the conversation with Eddy ended up very fruitful and Sturla so far can only agree with Derk Pereboom that the free will scene is a super cool scene with super cool people - on all sides - this far.
