He uses an imagined dialogue among several characters to make what is typically a complex topic more accessible and engaging for students. Guided by the question \"How much power do these scientific challenges have?\", the characters first consider what having free will means and then react to well-known experiments that question its existence, including work by Libet and Milgram and the bystander, dime, and Stanford prison experiments. Their discussions show how useful philosophical methods can be in assessing and interpreting scientific findings, thereby revealing certain weaknesses in these scientific challenges. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIdeal for courses in free will, introduction to philosophy, ethics, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of science, \u003cem\u003eA Dialogue on Free Will and Science\u003c\/em\u003e encourages students to form their own opinions on the validity and strength of the major scientific challenges to free will.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfred R.
