[QUOTE="zippy2006, post: 77646386, member: 342410"] This is your argument, which presupposes incompatibilism: [LIST=1] [*]If determinism is true then free will does not exist. [*]Determinism is true. [*]Therefore, free will does not exist. [/LIST] The problem is that—contrary to what you suppose—you have not provided any reason to believe (2). What almost always happens in laymen's proposals for determinism is that [U]causality is conflated with determinism[/U], and presumably that is what is happening here. The erroneous assumption is, "Causality exists, therefore determinism is true." [/QUOTE]
