László Bernáth

Philosopher

Western civilization is built on the assumption that free will exists: that we are responsible for our actions, choices, and success. Positive psychology has also gained traction, suggesting you can live the life you dream of - it’s up to you to make it real. But what if this is all just an illusion? This is the question explored at Brain Bar with philosopher László Bernáth. A research fellow at ELTE HTK’s Institute of Philosophy, László focuses on free will, moral responsibility, metaphilosophy, and AI. His monograph “Does Free Will Exist?” came out two years ago - and in Betone’s live podcast recording, he returns to this very topic.
