15 Nov Agency Unveiled: Are We Truly Free?
What does it truly mean to have free will? In this episode, we explore “Agency: Moral Identity and Free Will” by David Weissman, a book that reshapes how we think about choice, responsibility, and autonomy. Weissman traces the roots of free will back to evolution, showing how the ability to deliberate and decide emerged as a survival advantage—and how it defines our moral identity today. Are we simply shaped by history and circumstance, or do we have the power to rise above them? Tune in as we unpack this compelling argument for why autonomy and responsibility are central to who we are, sparking new ways to think about the choices we make every day.
