Default Re: My Basic Thought On Free Will

[ QUOTE ]
David,

Do you think this is a problem that will be solved by logical proof, or one that scientists will eventually address when we start to better understand the brain? It seems to me it's just a level of complexity that neuroscience hasn't yet reached... and one I'm not all that anxious for them to reach, either.

Science can help moderately with the determinism question, but not with the compatibalism question. Most people in the debate are determinists these days, but moreover, most people who argue that we do have free will argue that determinism is irrelevant whether they believe in it or not.
