Funded Activity Summary

Understanding Psychological Impossibility. This project will develop the first account of psychological impossibility by combining philosophical theorizing with results from the cognitive and brain sciences, and experimental philosophy. Something is psychologically impossible when it is not available in our psychology as an option to choose. Through developing an account of psychological impossibility this project will advance our understanding of the nature of autonomy, free will and moral responsibility. It will also provide major benefits to policy makers and legal and health professionals by giving them the theoretical resources required for ethical decision making when dealing with people that have different affordances for choice and action.
