Pondelkové stretko: Sloboda u sv. Tomáša Akvinského a v poňatí súčasných vied o človeku

Is human freedom just an illusion 🤔 and are we actually determined by a variety of facts that reduce or even exclude our freedom? The results of the experiments of American neuroscientist Benjamin Libet 🧠 and his colleagues are proof of several scientists and thinkers that the free will of man is only an illusion. Although more than 35 years have passed since their implementation, these attempts are still subject to scientific interest. Some authors conclude that human action is not caused by the will of man or the intention of doing some deed.

What leads them to these conclusions? Their research scheme could be simply characterized by the following thesis: somewhere deep in our brain, mysterious events are played 🧬, which operate independently of our consciousness, will, or even common physical laws. These are fundamentally influenced by our behavior and overall experience. As if Tomáš Aquinas reacted 📜 to the findings of Benjamin Libet, we do not have to guess today. His learning shows us quite reliably. Thus we are formulating Tomáš's answers. Tomáš Aquinas. The program will start at 19:00 in the Church of Sts. James Mass, which will be celebrated by our guest. The lecture will then take place at 20:15 in the parish hall. We believe that despite the ongoing test period we will see 📚 and look forward to seeing you!
