  • Summary

  • According to Google, Dr. Robert Sapolsky is “An American Academic and Neuroscientist. He studied baboons for almost 30 years, starting in the late 1970s and continuing into the early 1990s, spending several months each year observing the same troop in the Serengeti plains of Africa." Coincidently, today is the exact day Dr. Sapolsky’s best-selling book was published last year, in October 17th 2023. His book is titled Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will. And, so, as we can tell immediately, Dr. Sapolsky’s book invokes what in philosophy is called the puzzle of determinism, also known as the puzzle of free will. So, in this podcast episode, we’re going to briefly consider Dr. Sapolsky’s Determinism from five (5) points of view. I’ve named them the following: (1) The Ice Bath Challenge (2) Descartes and Modern Philosophy, (3) The Question of Autonomy, (4) Will power & the UFC, and (5) the social implications of belief in determinism. .
