For this episode, I spoke about domestic violence, solutions to domestic violence and gender with Rachel Horman-Brown who is a Solicitor and Head of the Domestic Violence & Forced Marriage Department at Watson Ramsbottom Solicitors. This is not the cheeriest of subjects I realise but it is one of the most important, so I urge everyone to listen or watch the whole conversation as I’m sure there will be something that you’ll take away from it. If you are a victim of domestic violence or abuse and need to access help, I’ve linked some charities below who can help, please don’t try to rationalise harmful behaviour.

This episode surrounded a topic I am extremely interested in. As those who know me well know (as I talk about it all the time), I do not believe we have any free will. I believe that the events of the past and the laws of nature determine what we will say, do or think next and that this is incompatible with notions of free will and therefore, we should not praise or blame anyone for their actions and my guest for episode 20 shares this view; Gregg Caruso. He is professor of Philosohy at the state university of New York and honoury professor of philosophy at Macquarie university. He is also the co director of the justice without retribution network at the university of Aberdeen school of law. He has written many books and papers surrounding free will, moral responsibility and punishment. We discussed this idea as well as what consequences (if proven to be true) this would have on society, culture and systems of punishment.
