Abstract
- The article discusses research into the concept of free will, focusing on studies suggesting it does not exist and on the behavior of societies that doubt free will. Topics include philosophic and neurological arguments against free will, evidence that those who disbelieve free will are less likely to support vengeance-based punishment of criminals, and potential social disorder due to free will skepticism.
