Costs and Risks

Abstract

In my paper, I formulate three problems and objections to László Bernáth’s book Does Free Will Exist? I argue that (1.) Bernáth makes a methodological error in his argument by failing to address in sufficient depth the fact that his own position necessarily implies theism. (2.) The phenomenon of conscience is on much more unstable ground than it could be the basis for the anthropology and ethics it is supposed to underpin. (3.) It is not
true that, of the parties engaged in the irresolvable debate on free will, Bernáth’s position is objectively more rational.
