YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The amazing Rick Repetti returns to talk about an important part of his work, viz., free will and agency, but especially from a Buddhist perspective. As always Rick is provocatively profound while entering in good faith into deep dialogos.

Rick asked me to include this on his behalf: A thought came up afterwards. Another reason I am motivated to respond to and critique free will pessimism and the correlated denial of a self is that this pair of ideas is infiltrating our culture as if it is the best unification of science and Buddhism, popularized by folks like Sam Harris.

Here’s the citation info: Repetti, Rick, 2020. Freedom of the Mind: Buddhist soft Compatibilism, Philosophy East & West, 70:1, pp. 174-195.
