Search the Garden

Jorge Luis Borges

  • "Under the trees of England I meditated on this lost and perhaps mythical labyrinth. I imagined it untouched and perfect on the secret summit of some mountain; I imagined it drowned under rice paddies or beneath the sea; I imagined it infinite, made not only of eight-sided pavilions and of twisting paths but also of rivers, provinces and kingdoms. I thought of a maze of mazes, of a sinuous, ever growing maze which would take in both past and future and would somehow involve the stars."

Empirial evidence that Free Will Illusionism is False/Unmotivated?

Some of you may not be aware of some interesting free will and moral responsibility discussions on other blogs.  Thomas Nadelhoffer and Adam Feltz from FSU have recently done another interesting experiment, this one exploring the way in which Smilansky's Illusionism is (i) more dependent on empirical claims that other views about free will and (ii) the empirical data doesn't support Illusionism.  A fascinating post describing the experiment, as well as a good discussion of the experiment, can be found at the Experimental Philosophy blog here.
