Yes it denies existential freedom. But I'm not saying that it doesn't and you're not saying that I'm wrong. Great! Suits me!
Quote:The alternative, as you presented in the Strawson quote, is that people are biological robots.
Yes.
Quote: If that is true, then you don't believe the Stawson quote is true because it because it actually is true; but rather, because that belief, that the Strawson quote is true, has been forced upon you.
No... I believe that it is both true and that I believe it is true because that that belief was forced upon me. When I see how sound the argument is the soundness of the argument compels me to believe in it. Although I already believed it before I read it. Strawson just expresses it the most clearly and concisely.
