Freier Wille und Natur(alismus): Ein integrativer Ansatz zur Willensfreiheit im Kontext der Bewusstseinsfrage

A reductive-naturalistic view of nature, which draws its plausibility from the successes of the natural sciences, medicine, and modern technology, represents a Christian and humanistic image of human beings, to whom freedom (of will) and responsibility belong. Hildegard Peters integrates a broad range of different philosophical and cognitive-scientific approaches to an overall perspective on the subject of free will, which represents an innovative and convincing counter-proposal to the reductive-naturalistic view of man.

A reductive-naturalistic perspective of nature, which has gained widespread acceptance in recent decades and finds its rationale in the accomplishments of the natural sciences, medicine, and modern technology, particularly in the field of brain research, presents a Christian and humanistic portrayal of human beings, granting them freedom of will and responsibility. However, despite this perspective's appeal, some philosophers and theologians continue to hold onto the notion of libertarian free will, often relying on a single philosophical paradigm for argumentation. In contrast, Hildegard Peters offers an innovative and compelling counter-argument to the reductive-naturalistic view of humanity by integrating a diverse array of philosophical and cognitive-scientific approaches. This comprehensive perspective on free will represents a groundbreaking and thought-provoking alternative to prevailing notions about human nature.
