Aberatii intelectuale

An argument for libertarian (or "true") free will I've covered free will for a handful of times already and I've made clear that my position is that of compatibilism - free will is compatible and is even based on determinism - to be free is to act according to what I want, and what I want depends on what I am. However, I think there's a third option besides determined and random, which are usually the only two considered options regarding what happens in the world. We usually either consider that an event was determined by a previous one - "caused" by it, or that an event is purely stochastic - random.

Scurta observatie: intrebarile sunt adunate pe o perioada lunga de timp iar unele opinii expuse in ele nu sunt cele pe care le am in prezent. In plus, imi place sa pun intrebari "naive", in sensul ca ascund ceea ce stiu pentru a primi un raspuns mai elaborat, neincarcat de detalii aditionale. Voi scrie intrebarile in italics iar raspunsurile lui ChatGPT ca text obisnuit. Intrebarile si raspunsurile vor fi in engleza. Regarding the talk about moral realism vs. moral constructi...
