5. Arguments for the existence of the soul, Part III: Free will and near-death experiences
Death (PHIL 176)
Professor Kagan discusses in detail the argument of free will as proof for the existence of an immaterial soul. The argument consists of three premises: 1) We have free will. 2) Nothing subject to determinism has free will. 3) All purely physical systems are subject to determinism. The conclusion drawn from this is that humans are not a purely physical system; but Professor Kagan explains why this argument is not truly compelling. In addition, near-death experiences and the Cartesian argument are discussed at length.

04:57 - Chapter 2. Determinism and Free Will Cannot Coexist -- Inspecting Incompatibility
