All right, can everyone hear me right?

Thank you very much for having me here.

It's a treat to be in San Antonio.

And I'm going to defend this evening a traditional understanding of free will against quite specifically some

neuroscientists and philosophers who claim that neuroscience shows that free will is an illusion.

It's important I put the point of some because there's lots of different views that different neuroscientists have about this topic,

and there's a lot of different views that a lot of different philosophers have about this topic. There's not like a cookie cut or what all neuroscientists

think, or what all philosophers think, there's a lot of different rival disagreements about them.

So it's just some specific philosophical and neuroscience would be about pretty well.

So my critique is not against philosophy or neuroscience as such. I think in fact both they're indispensable

for thinking about human persons, and especially this issue,

but rather I'm critiquing some what I think are mistaken positions

in philosophy and neuroscience

So, one thing we need to ask whenever we confront different claims coming from the sciences,

especially in psychology and neuroscience, we should ask,
