In this podcast, Polly Young-Eisendrath, Ph.D., Sarah Brodie, M.A. and Eleanor Johnson explore the meaning of “free will” and some of the arguments for and against it. They talk about free will in the context of the timeless “laws” or guidelines for how to develop our intentions wisely: The Ten Commandments, the five basic moral principles of Buddhism, and the Golden Rule. They will emphasize the nature of human negativity and hostility in relation to our natural reactions on an interpersonal and personal basis, as well as the wise guidance provided by our cultural ancestors in encouraging us to restrain and contain our self-protections and self-promotions.
