Science and Human Freedom

Viac o knihe

The book presents a compelling argument that scientific determinism does not compromise human free will, asserting that science is descriptive rather than prescriptive. It emphasizes that the formulation and validation of scientific theories inherently rely on the existence of free will and human agency. Drawing from Humean and Kantian philosophies, it defends scientific realism while clarifying that scientific theories cannot dictate moral or normative behavior at individual or societal levels, thus distinguishing between objective facts and subjective interpretations.
