Originally posted by Obbe I think agency is another another topic we already have a word for: agency.
It is fine if you want to say agency instead of will, but that's not the argument you've been making at all: the issue you've taken is with the word "free" not being applicable if there is any antecedent cause to an action. You need to justify why that is, because I'm perfectly happy to say that that sense of the word free is just stupid, we can both agree, and you're making a rather pointless and completely semantic argumentWe've already talked about this before, I don't see the point of writing an essay-like response to repeat what we've already discussed many times. I don't think we actually disagree about any of that, it's just not what I mean by free will, it doesn't appear to be what Harris means by free will either.
The point of repeating the "essay like responses" is to show that you can't articulate why the spoopy ghost is integral to your meaning of free will, other than it being part of the "common understanding" of the term, which is not even remotely close to being true; every single person was raised by a couple parents/guardians who probably have full awareness that the upbringing they're providing is going to shape their child. So what else?You agreeing that our actions are the results of factors we have no influence over is good enough for me, I think agency is another topic and you and Dennet are unnessiarily joining the two.
No, see, this is the point: Sam Harris is unnecessarily joining the concept of ultimate self causation to free will.
When I say "you signed the contract of your own free will", no part of my statement necessarily implies that you are an ultimate causal engine. -
