Comment on Those books are different from how I remembered…
needthosepylons@lemmy.world 1 month agoI propose to sincerely rebute this conception which I always found lacking. And if we’re to rely on facts and facts only, I’ll say its internal decision are themselves absolutely determined by several factors, most if not all of them being determined causally.
In that sense, it is imo both the more scientific and logical, but also eliminates vague and speculative concepts like “free(dom)” and “free will”, which would somehow escape universal determinism, hence creating a special case in the laws of causality for humanity only.

At no point did I say that humanity is exempt.
I guess you could say I’m a compatabilist.

By pushing the idea that the humain brain is capable of “free” decision making to adapt to its environment without being forced by external factors it seemed to me that it implied an exception, or, otherwise, you’d be forced to extend that hypothesis to all living beings, and causality would surely take offense ?
I’m answering, but I see what you mean, and I generally agree with it. I just tend to think the idea of free orientation/action is both dangerous and the reason of a lot of human suffering. I’m also a compatabilist, but I another way I suppose.

I believe that all living things that are capable of making decisions possess free will
