Caruso versus Dennett on free will

By Mathew Goldstein

Aeon “is a registered charity committed to the spread of knowledge and a cosmopolitan worldview. Our mission is to create a sanctuary online for serious thinking.” Gregg D Caruso is professor of philosophy at SUNY Corning in New York. Daniel Dennett is professor of philosophy and co-director of the Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University. This debate format article is 47 paragraphs. Professor Caruso, who argues for incompatibilism, makes the stronger/better argument in my opinion. You can decide for yourself by reading their arguments: https://aeon.co/essays/on-free-will-daniel-dennett-and-gregg-caruso-go-head-to-head
