Night Waves - Susan Blackmore: The Myth of Free Will

Logo for Night Waves - Susan Blackmore: The Myth of Free Will

In front of an audience at Liverpool's FACT centre for Radio 3's 2008 Free Thinking festival, brain scientist and bestselling author Susan Blackmore explores the notion of free will, asking whether the choices we make really are free. Many scientists now believe that there can be no such thing and that our genes, biology and inheritance are in control.
