Compatibilism can be natural

Consciousness and Cognition, 2017
Compatibilism is the view that moral responsibility is compatible with determinism. Natural compatibilism is the view that in ordinary social cognition, people are compatibilists. Researchers have recently debated whether natural compatibilism is true. This paper presents six experiments (N = 909) that advance this debate.

Mechanical Properties and Thermo‐Oxidative Aging of Hybrid EPDM Formulations With Bio‐Based Oils

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluates bio‐based oil as an eco‐friendly replacement for paraffinic oil in EPDM rubber. While pure bio‐oil matches conventional mechanical properties, specific blends (25% and 75%) improve tensile strength and stiffness. The 50% blend requires tempering to optimize its sulfur network and morphology, eventually yielding a 35% strength ...

Local Miracle Compatibilism [PDF]

Noûs, 2003
To those people who have not spent much time thinking about the problem of free will, it seems that we frequently have the ability to do otherwise than what we do. Provided I am not subject to any compulsions or coercive forces (addiction, bondage, someone holding a gun to my head, and so on), I am able now to raise my hand, drink some water, read the ...
