Well free does not exist only if logic is bound by what the human mind can conceive. It may be possible for something not be random, and to have no antecedent at the same time.
Also, the concept of free will is bound up with the concept of consciousness. What is the entity that may or may not have free will? Until we define and understand that, free will will be an ill-defined concept not amenable to proper analysis
- RHSman2 5y agoAmazing that all this conflab about free will and you seem to be the first to bring up consciousness. "Free Will" is a construct of consciousness don't you think? With varying degrees of conscious capability comes increasing amounts of free will. But absolute free will? For example, I choose to end my life, because I choose too is going to be a very hard push. It is only going to happen if I really want it, and will only want it if I am in a situation that calls for such drastic action. Those situations, we can see, are generally on the peripherals (although way too common these days). So our free will is a function of the Human Condition, which is relative to our levels of consciousness.
