註釋
A compelling essay on free will from an internationally recognized authority on atheism, and author of
God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction
.
Do we have free will? And if we don’t, why do we
feel
as if we do?
In a godless universe governed by impersonal laws of cause and effect, are you responsible for your actions?
Former evangelical minister Dan Barker (
God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction
) unveils a novel solution to the question that has baffled scientists and philosophers for millennia. He outlines the concept of what he calls “harmonic free will,” a two-dimensional perspective that pivots the paradox on its axis to show that there is no single answer—both sides are right.
Free will is a useful illusion: not a scientific, but a social truth.
