Man is the only creature we can say with certainty that can give himself aim... > > This of course assumes that we have free will. If we don't we can't give ourselves anything? > > An odd statement. The capricious nature of man itself is a testament to free will. Though you have not spent much time in Zen practice... > > I would suggest "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" by Suzuki. The entire practice of Zen is a study in exercising free will.-From what little I have read free will (or its absence) and zen teachings are not mutually exclusive.-You say capricious - how is this a testament to free will?
