Why Free Will Is Real
The ability to freely choose between different options for action is part of our understanding of ourselves as agents.

In his engaging yet rigorous new book, Christian List takes on the challenge of defending free will. List argues that there are three conditions that need to be met in order for agents to have free will: they ne…
Social Dimensions of Moral Responsibility

Recently, philosophers like…
Unrealistic optimism – Its nature, causes and effects

Here we consider the nature of unrealistic optimism and other related positive illusions. We are interested in whether cognitive states that are unrealistically optimistic are belief states, whether they are false, and whether they are epistemically irrational.

This paper gives an overview of different variants of the argument commonly found in the literature and addresses their argumentative strength and the interrelations between them. The most common variant, the empirical slippery slope argument, predicts that if we do A, at some point the highly u…
