Discussion group. Determinism and Freedom

Day:

19.12.2011

Time: 09:00 hs.

Mode: in-person

Location: Universidad Austral - IF

During the years 2011-2015 an interdisciplinary group of researchers met periodically to delve into the in/determinism of nature and the problem of freedom.

Throughout the sessions, the aim was to achieve a thematic and terminological understanding among the various disciplines (physics, biology, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, theology) in order to analyze new challenges posed by science to contemporary culture. Presentations lasted 60 minutes, followed by extensive discussion time.
