Discussion “Defense of Classical Compatibilism”

15 June, 2018

Classical compatibilism claims that we live in a world where all processes are deterministic, but, in spite of this, free will remains. Within the “Logico-Philosophical Club of the HSE” there was a discussion on this topic, where Professor V. Vasiliev, the main defender of classical compatibilism and co-director of our Center, gave a talk.

The cause for this discussion was a recent book written by Professor V.Vasiliev "In defense of classical compatibilism". Other experts on the problem of free will also took part in the discussion: A. Besedin, A. Mishura, A. Mertsalov, A. Kuznetsov, each of whom made a separate comment.
