Free Will: Now You Have It, Now You Don’t
Posted by BobG in Vancouver on 2007/01/02
According to a piece in NY Times Science section this am:
Experiments suggest that the conscious choice is an illusion, but some philosophers and physicists choose to disagree.
After reading that piece, I find that Dennett’s thinking about this is more acceptable to me than denying the existence of free will. After coming here I found a link to the Ethical Culture Society, who offer a well thought out discussion of what they characterize as the three great lies in our culture, God, immorality and free will.
This is thinking worth thinking about. I tend to view myself as an agnostic and readings like these tend to give me more reasons to accept my agnosticism.
