Do Our Thoughts on Free Will Matter? - Irenicast Episode #053 - Conversations on Faith and Culture - An Irenicon

Scientists, theologians and philosophers have wrestled for millennia over questions of determinism and the freedom of the human person. The Irenicast co-hosts, on the other hand, sidestep most of this in order to discuss the effects of embracing one view or another. Do our thoughts on free will matter? Do our views on this specific topic influence the way we live? In any case, Jeff, Mona & Allen exercise their agency at the end of the episode in an old fashioned game of Would You Rather?
