Some scientists say we don't have free will. As a philosopher I say, of course we do

A new book by a Stanford neurobiologist offers a jarring proposition: that humans do not have free will and thus cannot be considered morally responsible for our actions.

Here is the good, the bad and the scary of climate change

Halloween is a time when we explore our fears, face the skeletons and ghouls of our past, and try on new identities. We can do that for climate change as well by looking at the scary parts as challenges we can overcome together.
