Moral responsibility and determinism: The cognitive science of folk intuitions
Noûs 41 (4):663–685 (2007)
| Authors | |
| Abstract |
An empirical study of people's intuitions about freedom of the will. We show that people tend to have compatiblist intuitions when they think about the problem in a more concrete, emotional way but that they tend to have incompatiblist intuitions when they think about the problem in a more abstract, cognitive way.
