The Department of Philosophy is pleased to present a public lecture on Thursday, October 9, 5:30 p.m. in Demaray Hall 150 with Alfred Mele, the William H. and Lucyle T. Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy at Florida State University. He is director of the Big Questions in Free Will Project and The Philosophy and Science of Self-Control Project. Dr. Mele is the author of several books and countless articles. His lecture, titled "Neuroscience and Free Will," will examine certain scientific studies that say the brain routinely decides what a person will do before they become conscious of its decision, and there is only a 100 millisecond window of opportunity for free will.
The lecture is free and wheelchair accessible. To request disability accommodation, contact the Disability Services office in advance of the event at 206-281-2272, TTY 206-281-2224, or dss@spu.edu.
