Alfred Mele, the Werkmeister professor of philosophy at Florida State University, will give a presentation where he discusses the concept of free will and why the arguments against it are not entirely true.

“Free: Why Science Hasn’t Disproved Free Will,” which is hosted by the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies, aims to argue that a person’s consciousness creates decisions throughout the day and that people tend to make worse decisions when they do not believe in the idea of free will.

The event is free to the public and will take place on Thursday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Loosemore Auditorium.
