• Daniel Goldman deposited What Role Playing Games can tell us About Free Will on Humanities Commons 6 years, 12 months ago

    Free will is an interesting topic, but it can be a difficult one to wrap one’s mind around. Sometimes taking an esoteric idea like free will, and connecting it to something mundane, can help provide insight into the matter. In this paper, I suggest using an analogy between our decision making and the decision making process of characters in role playing games. This analogy is used to address different restrictions on free will.
