Workshop: Free Will Revisionism

In June this year the Free Will Foundations project will arrange a workshop on Revisionism about Free Will at the University of Gothenburg. (https://www.gu.se/en/research/free-will-foundations-metaethical-and-methodological-underpinnings-of-free-will-theories)

A free will theory is revisionist if it involves rejecting and/or changing what one takes to be (problematic) commitments built into relevant concepts or common-sense assumptions. Revisionist accounts provide a way to avoid argumentative stalemate based on conflicting intuitions (between e.g., compatibilists and incompatibilists about free will). But they also raise methodological questions about the role of common-sense intuitions in philosophical arguments. This workshop gathers proponents and critics of revisionist views about free will.
