All there is to know about free will (and freedom in general)
There is a nice line of argument about free will which I might spell up as follows. I'm not sure yet what I am to think about these thoughts I had recently. Maybe I'm all wrong, but it seems to make sense. All there is to know about free will is that: i) is doesn't exist and that ii) we have the impression that it exists. I. Why should we say that free will doesn't exist, despite our intuition that we are making free choices all day long and thus that we are committed to these choices and responsible for them? If the human will is the result of neuronal activity, which in turn is the result of chemical-biological deterministic causes, then will - as well as emotions and other mental states - are the result of deterministic causes. Even though will raises problems as a mental state because of its being about other mental states (an issue left aside here). Some have suggested that the high complexity of the brain converts this determinism into non-determinism....
