## Resource

In this episode we examine the human will. We look at the will from different perspectives or perhaps different language games. Our main discussion takes place within a larger academic discussion that both empirically and logically discusses the will in relation to the distinction between brain and mind. Here we attempt to show different perspectives on the human will and where this discussion ends empirically and moves on to a metaphysical discussion. Eventually we introduce another language game that more fundamentally asks whether we have will at all or whether will is an expression of man's inability to be good to himself. The guest in todays episode is Soren Sabet.
