Ah, I see what you're saying. I've mentioned this before. I think that libertarians are referring to *something* when they use "free will". It's just something that doesn't exist. Like unicorns, or the bibilical Triune God. They are referring to an imaginary ability to make decisions that are neither caused nor random - but instead are something else, something that can't be clearly conceived of or described but which somehow gives them ultimate responsibility for their actions. It isn't a coherent concept, or rational...but that's people for you. Rex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
