Auftakt der Weiterbildungsreihe Montagsakademie. Generalthema: "Wie frei ist unser Wille?"

Mit vollem Haus startete die Montagsakademie am 19. Oktober 2015 in die neue Saison. Die Psychologin und Emotionsforscherin Univ.-Prof. Dr. Anne Schienle machte den Anfang und eröffnete mit ihrem Vortrag "Wie frei sind unsere Gefühle? Neurowissenschaftliche Zugänge zur Erforschung von Emotionen und deren Regulation" den Reigen. Die Vorlesung, die in diesem Jahr unter dem Generalmotto "Wie frei ist unser Wille?" steht, wurde von der Uni Graz aus über das Internet in zahlreiche Außenstellen übertragen; neu dabei ab heuer sind Feldbach, Frohnleiten sowie vier oberösterreichische Regionen. Weiter geht es am 9. November 2015, wenn Rechtsphilosoph Univ.-Prof. Dr. Peter Strasser über "Wille, Geist, Gehirn – und wo bleibt die Freiheit? Bemerkungen zu einem Rätsel der Philosophie" spricht.
