Doha Debates: Is free will an illusion?

From the creator

Do we really choose our actions, or are our lives shaped by forces beyond our control? In this episode of @DohaDebates town hall, host Imran Garda tackles one of humanity’s most enduring questions: Does free will exist, or is it an illusion? Featuring Omar Suleiman, Gregg Caruso and Jeremy Koons, alongside university students from Qatar Foundation’s Education City and beyond, the discussion explores agency, moral responsibility and how belief in free will shapes justice and accountability.
