Mark quoted Marsha:
And here are the questions that dmb evaded: So, dmb, is your argument that
William James says free-will is real, therefore it is Real? Or is it that
William James and a dozen philosophers and scientists say free-will (two-stage
model) is real, therefore it i s Real? What is your argument? Have you
presented any argument at all? No? Are you folding?
dmb says:
Evaded the question? Only if "evasion" means a refusal to answer the same
question over and over again. Apparently, if a person doesn't constantly repeat

My claim is that Steve is misreading James. The quotes provide evidence for
that claim. Steve says that James's indeterminism is a kind of determinism but
the evidence shows that James's indeterminism is meant to oppose determinism.
The quotes provide evidence that Steve is misusing these terms and that he has
misunderstood the meaning of James's essay. He brought it up, by the way, not
realizing that this essay does not support his position at all. Quite the
opposite.
But you didn't ask the questions to elicit any real answers, did you? That's
why you're called Lucy, after all. That's why I usually don't bother to answer
them - or even read them in the first place.
