TY - JOUR AU - Philipp, Ryszard PY - 2013/03/01 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - A thought experiment against the determinism of the will (in Polish) JF - Diametros JA - Diametros VL - 0 IS - 35 SE - Articles DO - 10.13153/diam.35.2013.510 UR - https://diametros.uj.edu.pl/diametros/article/view/510 SP - 84-92 AB - The article presents a thought experiment against the deterministic theory of consciousness (i.e. free will), which is a consequence of a naturalistic (materialist) and physicalist approach to the problem of consciousness, prevailing in contemporary philosophy of mind. The physicalist approach presupposes the possibility of third-person descriptions of human actions in physical terms, and a fortiori the predictability, in principle, of human behaviour. The experiment emphasizes some consequences of this approach, especially some logical problems to which it gives rise. ER -
