Romansh: one more time ....-> http://www3.telus.net/romansh/juris/freewill.htm-I have read your essay very carefully with your definition of free will:-"The ability to act or to make choices independently of the environment or of the universe."-With the constraints you impose I can understand your viewpoint. I think it is a rather tortured approach, but it is obvious I have no comparable background in philosophy as yours appears to be. I'm just not inclined to dig in that deeply. Why? Well, my training is as a bio-mechanic, working with humans as biologic machines, interfering with them by the use of chemicals, etc. It is difficult to leave that mindset. Nor do I think I see anything in your essay that makes me think differently. There are many points I disagree with and some I agree with, but I don't think it serves any purpose to voice objections. I think other followers of this website should take a careful look at your essay and make up their own minds.
