Gwendolyn Dolske and Rudy Salo interview Philosophy Professor Dr. Gregg Caruso (SUNY Corning), author of Rejecting Retributivism. Free Will, Punishment, and Criminal Justice. We discuss the meaning of free will, what is a free will skeptic, determinism, and how understanding free will (or rejecting the idea of free will) impacts our sense of justice.
