I encourange you to leave a short summary of your reasoning. [u]Free will-The abilty to act without an external cause. [/u] No: Humans are not exceptions to the laws of nature, all events have a cause. Yes: Humans are above the laws of nature, and show the only examples of events without a cause in the universe.

  • Chapter 11 summary from above link. Free Will. Discusses the experimental investigations into the Neuroscience of free will by Benjamin Libet of the University of California, San Francisco and others, which show that the brain seems to commit to certain decisions before the person becomes aware of having made them and discusses the implications of these findings on our conception of free will. An interesting read. The other chapters are fun too.
