Synopsis

The age-old question of the existence of human free has been tackled by the field of philosophy traditionally.However, this question has recently been challenged by neuroscience experiments suggesting our decisionsare made unconsciously by our brains before we’re aware of them. In this article, we explore the validity ofthis argument and the conclusions it brings regarding human responsibility and morality, and whether thisexperiment is sufficient to declare the death of human free will as we know it.
