| description | Philosophical debates around the concept of free will have not ceased for many
centuries. Modern discussions in moral philosophy are increasingly turning to
new scientific discoveries of social psychology and neurobiology. On the wave
of interest of modern moral philosophy for these scientific discoveries has arisen
experimental philosophy. This article raises the question of the relationship between
a person’s belief in free will and conformity. The study is based on the methods of
experimental philosophy, in particular, the correlation between these two indicators
is measured. The participants in our experiment filled in two scales assessing an
individual’s faith in freedom of will and his tendency to conformism. The results of
the experiment provided the evidence that respondents with stronger belief in free
will showed a less tendency toward conformism |
