TWO SEMINARS: 27/28 July – h. 18

Piazza Peyron, 9G, Torino, Italy
“Freedom. That’s the only possession an artist has — freedom to do whatever you can imagine.” - Philip Guston
ABOUT THE SEMINARS:
Are you sure to be free? is a couple of seminars that investigates the
free will by mean of philosophical tools. Matteo Cresti will guide us
into one of the greatest philosophical troubles that we find deeply
entangled with many other problematic concepts such as materialism,
causality, action, mind, and good. The first reading group will be
about the history of argumentative forms for/against free will. In the
second reading group we will face the question about how the development
of neurosciences might have an impact to the accounts of free will.
If you are curious to discuss about these questions, write to (associazioneinaudita@gmai
NOTE: The seminar will be held in English.
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
FUSION AIR - ARBITRIUM RESIDENCY PROJECT, curated by Associazione
Inaudita, hosts REBEKKA KRAFT (Germany), DANICA OLDERS (Canada), SILVI
KADILLARI (Australia/Albania). Three artists interested in studying,
analyzing, and researching the topic "FREE WILL" with the goal of
producing a body of work, exhibition, catalogue/book and creating a
network of exchange of knowledge.
“Free Will” is a philosophical
term that is referred to a particular “capacity” of rational agents to
choose a course of action from among various alternatives. Free will is a
relevant topic for our life because it is connected with our values,
desires, appetites, commitments and believes. In our routine we have the
intuition to choose what we do and what we want, even if it is not
always achievable, but in the end are we sure to be free? Seeing all our
social, political, affective, psychological, neurobiological, physical
constraints it could seem impossible to speak about free will but after
all some questions continues to buzz in our heads. Do our restraints
accomplish us from the responsibility of the choice? Is free will an
issue that we are not able to eliminate from our experience even if it
might be an illusion?
