SUMMARY:Free Will in Marvel’s Loki
DESCRIPTION:Loki\, the god of Mischief\, has been detained by the Time Variance Association who employ him to catch a variant of himself to protect the sacred timeline and preserve the multiverse. Loki begrudgingly complies\, all the while maintaining that he is destined to be King while also being completely free to choose his own path. This presents a paradox: When Loki makes a choice\, does he do so by his own free will\, or are all of his so-called free choices pre-determined by He Who Remains\, the TVA’s puppet master? If a choice isn’t “free\,” is the chooser personally accountable for the choice? Is one’s purpose in life forged through personal decisions\, or is one’s life purpose assigned by a “higher power”? Is it possible for freedom to work alongside determinism\, or are they mutually exclusive? Together\, we will investigate the intersection of purpose\, freedom\, and personal responsibility.\nYoung Philosophers is an online discussion for high-school-aged students. Join us for “Free Will in Marvel’s Loki” on Thursday\, March 2\, from 4-6 p.m. Pacific time. The discussion will be led by Gutenberg tutor Eliot Grasso. Students should watch the entire first season of Loki before class.\nAttendee Requirements: High-school age\nMaximum Attendees: 12 \nMore about Young Philosophers \nRegister Here for Zoom AttendanceEliot Grasso is the vice president and a tutor at Gutenberg College where he teaches art seminars and leads discussions in Western Civilization and the Great Conversation.
