Causation and Control
The discussion delves into the complexities of causation, questioning whether events in our minds are truly under our control or merely products of an unbroken chain of causation. Alex argues that even if a soul influences our thoughts, it doesn't escape the underlying problem of causation, while Richard counters by emphasizing the role of intentionality in human actions. The conversation challenges conventional views on how we understand the relationship between events and the essence of free will.In this clip
