About this listen

This audiobook features a compelling essay on free will from an internationally recognized authority on atheism and author of God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction.

Do we have free will? And if we don’t, why do we feel as if we do? In a godless universe governed by impersonal laws of cause and effect, are you responsible for your actions? Former evangelical minister Dan Barker and author of God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction unveils a novel solution to the question that has baffled scientists and philosophers for millennia. He outlines the concept of what he calls “harmonic free will", a two-dimensional perspective that pivots the paradox on its axis to show that there is no single answer - both sides are right. Free will is a useful illusion - not a scientific, but a social truth.

Intelligent

helps me understand the illusion of freewill in a way I've never thought of before by comparing with melodies and harmonies. listened to it twice so far!

The antithesis of inspired.

Narration is so bad I can't finish it. Tried 3 times. Not worth credit
