About this audiobook

Are your choices truly your own, or is free will the mind's greatest illusion? You chose to read this sentence. At least, it feels that way. But what if every decision you have ever made was predetermined before you were even born? For more than two millennia, the debate between free will and determinism has haunted the greatest minds in history. If our actions are simply the inevitable consequences of prior causes—genetics, environment, and the laws of physics—then the entire architecture of human morality, justice, and personal achievement threatens to collapse. How can we punish the guilty or praise the virtuous if everyone is merely acting out a biological script? In Free Will and Determinism, Alex Omberg delivers a gripping, highly accessible exploration of philosophy's oldest and most consequential debate. From the ancient insights of Aristotle to the startling modern discoveries of brain-imaging technology, this book unpacks the paradox of human agency with unparalleled clarity.
