“The community we envision has genuine two way-exchanges: down from the North and up from the South.”
This project consists in a series of seminars and
research activities focused on free will, agency,
and responsibility. We believe there is untapped
potential for high-level philosophical work on
these topics within Latin America, and many
avenues for creating sustainable dialogues
on these issues across the Americas.Our aim is
to cultivate that potential, forging a community
of philosophers positioned to pursue original,
creative, and collaborative work on these topics.
During the next 3 years, we seek to provide
early career researchers with opportunities to
produce and sustain high-level research on
free will, agency, and responsibility. Our goal
is to build an Americas-wide dialogue among
philosophers pushing discussions on these
topics in new directions, including collaborations
across the Americas.
This project is funded by a generous, US$1.2
million grant from the John Templeton
Foundation, with support from Universidad de
los Andes and University of California in San Diego.
