Voiding Free Will
#17
RE: Voiding Free Will



Mein Gott, not another free will thread.

You may want to review the state of debate in a prior thread. Last I examined it, Genkaus was doing a fine job holding his own with a compatibilist position. I personally think compatibilism, and specifically Dennett's exposition of it in is crap. But saying it is one thing, and demonstrating it another. FWIW. (Also, FWIW, my entire atheist book club thought Dennett's book sucked, a problem for me as they read it largely on my recommendation.)

It started with a trickle on page 5, first post, when I necroposted to a dormant thread. Imho, it really started to get going on page 10, Zen Badger's post. My whatever you want to call it with me and Rhythm is probably 5-10 pages further in (maybe starting in pages 15-20), but, I think our discussion was largely a tempest in a teapot, and so is probably not worth seeking out on its own account (Rhythm may feel otherwise; that's just imho).
