Levka"Whether or not we have free will is a question philosophers have been debating for millennia. In the early 1980s, there was a brief moment when it appeared the debate may finally have been settled.
The potential solution came not from philosophy, but neuroscience.
The answer, somewhat depressingly, was that free will didn’t exist. Experiments carried out by the neuroscientist Benjamin Libet appeared to show decisions being made in the brain before people were even aware of them.
It was as if science had finally revealed the strings of the puppet master controlling our thoughts and actions.
To even casual observers of the history of inquiries into free will, this pronouncement felt premature. Thankfully, they were right.
Scientists today are much more sceptical not only of the idea that free will doesn’t exist, but also of the notion that brain scans will ever definitively prove or disprove its existence. But why?"
