Two Slovak researchers have published several papers in recent years in which they suggest that in history there are statistically significant cycles...
It seems that after the measurement the object remains in the selected eigenstate, unless we "re-prepare" it....
Is it possible for a collapsed wave function to restore itself? Can the selected value diffuse back into a superposition?
So intention causes a potential for action, which then causes the action? But you also intend to do the action, in order to achieve your intended...
Some cause. Or maybe it can also emerge uncaused, like some quantum event. The action can be prevented by other causes, as I explained.
Some of the other causes might be intentions too, others not. Why not? This doesn't imply that all causes are intentions. It just means that...
I don't know what this notation "!=" represents. If you have an intention to act and you don't act it means there are also other causes that prevent...
Yes, intention determines intentional action, so intention is a cause.
Uncaused events (selections) seem possible on the subatomic level. However, uncaused events are not intentional (if they were intentional they would...
The argument in the OP is independent of physicalism.
I think the Catholics would agree that free will must be intentional, although they didn't note it in their definition.
Ok :D
Realization of the nonexistence of free will may help us. Then again, this realization originates from beyond one's consciousness as well. For...
While I agree that all our choices are ultimately unconscious events, such events are usually not regarded as free will. How can we say that someone...
But I suppose that this overriding is an intentional action, and so it suffers from the problems I described in my OP. An agent that does an...
We will have to find a way to act properly even without belief in free will. Like many people have found a way to be moral even without belief in a...
It is irrelevant whether free will is causally connected to neurons. My argument is purely logical, not biological.
I know. And when I watch then sun, it feels like it moves around the earth. Free will is an illusion.
Free will as it is usually understood is the ability of an agent to do an intentional action that is at least to some extent independent of...
Here is an article that seems to be saying that the region under the Planck scale is unphysical, that is there is no defined energy in this region....
Separate names with a comma.
