quotes about free will

Free will has been revealed! Or has it? What has been revealed is your ability to plan and execute a behavior. Second, you can follow John Searle’s (2013) example and announce that you will raise your arm and then do it. If it were clear that the subjective experience of free will could not possibly be an illusion, then nothing we are subjectively sure of could be an illusion. The analogy of seeing the red in the rose and having free will is thus poor.

quotes about free will

It claims a special region for human behavior that is not occupied by either necessity or chance. Necessity and chance are everywhere they are exhaustive in our efforts to explain phenomena. Since we model everything we study as the product of some combination of necessity and chance, we shall approach human experience and behavior in the same way. There is necessity (i.e., the totality of the natural causal forces in play) and chance (random variation not reducible to causes). There are, however, alternatives to the idea that your behavior is caused by a will that is itself uncaused. There is no alternative to seeing the rose as red lest you mess with the physical input or the constitution of your perceptual system.
