Default Re: My Basic Thought On Free Will

[ QUOTE ]
Well if you are going to discuss this question rigorously, it is imperative that you define what you mean by "free will" in very precise technical terms.

Can I choose 'anything'? no, that would make it 'random will' and there would be no sense of "I" making choices.
Will there be a reason I made a choice? Then it would be constrained by preconditions.

My own approach is the "assumed free will" and I await the fermatian margin notes that clarify it for me.
Dennett's "Freedom Evolves" seems on the right track but not quite at the station.
