We are thrilled to welcome you to this course, Libertarian Free Will: Neuroscientific and Philosophical Evidence with  Dr. Peter Tse, Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences. This is the second course offered by DartmouthX in partnership with the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Engagement at Dartmouth. The first course in the series, Question Reality! Science, philosophy, and the search for meaning, can be found in an archival mode on edX. 

In this new course you will learn:

• How arguments from philosophers and evidence from neuroscientists contribute to the conversation about free will.
• To deploy these ideas to challenge assumptions of determinism in discussion and debate.
• How the bridge between behavior and neurobiology, and the links between attention and consciousness build our understanding of our own free will.
