This is a hot topic in modern (in the philosophical sense of modern, not necessarily contemporary) philosophy - the debate over what some will call "compatabilism." IMHO, the rationality of free will hinges on the definition of freedom. There is the freedom of not being a rock, and then the freedom of dreams. There is free like free beer, free like free speech, and free like the opposite of slave. Some are rational and some are, by definition, not.
