In this event, we will discuss about a science or philosophy book chosen by me. The attendees will be divided into groups and each of them will focus on a chapter in the book. This month we will discuss about a fascinating book called Determined: Life Without Free Will by Robert Sapolsky. If you haven't read the book, it's no problem. I will bring you up to speed with the discussion materials.
We will meet in a nice lounge area at 6 p.m for introductions. Please come on time so you will not miss out on valuable discussion midway. If you end up in the waitlist, feel free to show up.
Book Description:
What if free will is an illusion?
As Robert Sapolsky shows in this masterful account of the science of human behaviour, everything we think and do is caused by the luck of our biology and the influence of our environment, and ultimately both are beyond our control.
In a world without free will, we must completely rethink what we mean by choice, responsibility, morality, and justice. Sapolsky’s extraordinary book does exactly this, guiding us toward a profoundly fairer, more humane way of living together.
