[QUOTE="2PhiloVoid, post: 77661729, member: 167101"] But there's an analytically qualifiable difference between a definition and an explanation. A definition can be resorted to, but the simple use of a definition does not explain or demonstrate justification for holding that definition as Absolute and Supremely True. No, all we're doing with the terms in this discussion is.............................using them wantonly. I guess a forum like this isn't the place to get into the analytic nitty-gritty of epistemology. I see now why I could never get far into this Free-Will VS. Determinism issue. It just doesn't have the epistemic explanatory power I'm looking for. Still, that doesn't mean I think Sapolsky is dead wrong on all counts. No, he's one more scholar who has a few salient points to add to the totality of all of those that I already personally draw from. For the time being, I'll just stick with my consideration of [B][I]Soft[/I][/B] Determinism over Hard Determinism. [/QUOTE]
