Show Notes

The concept of free will is profoundly important to our self-understanding, our interpersonal relationships, and our moral and legal practices.

Just Deserts introduces the concepts central to the debate about free will and moral responsibility by way of an entertaining, rigorous, and sometimes heated philosophical dialogue between two leading thinkers.
