New Theism
#25
RE: New Theism
I find many who argue against "free will" express a kind of monism which borders on animism. Clearly there is "intent" and "choice" and whatever else it is we mean by "will" in the world. So if you decide we as thinking/feeling individual creatures don't have it, I guess some people just have to imagine someone or something else pulling the strings. I'm content to stop at appearances and posit will where it seems to be, in the totally context bound individual.
