We will start with the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Is there a part of our body that is not described by these laws? If someone has any evidence that there is a part of our body that is independent of these concepts, they will have my rapt attention. Similarly for souls (should they exist) are these supposed souls not described by our physical processes? And if not how do they interact with the material world.-the whole concept of free will is a nonsense from a deterministic point of view. We can then point to indeterministic processes, again this is strange. Is there a self that guides the indeterminism? We end up in an infinite regress again.-Sure we can agree on definitions and define things into (or out of) existence. but end of the day free will as dyscussed for millenia for the last two millenia is simply a nonsense.-That does not mean I don't experience a sense of free will. Just because I don't sense the chemistry and physics underlying my choices does not mean they are not the cause of the choices.
