Dec 6 at 8:39 | comment | added | Syed | You ask if a married bachelor is incoherent. The problem is that you strawman the position of married bachelors. You state that someone is either a bachelor or married. That is simply not the married bachelor position. To then prove that your strawman is incoherent doesn't prove anything. | |
Dec 5 at 18:31 | comment | added | Annika | Thanks - the incoherent part is what is free will and does the prima facie plausibility of it really hold up under logical scrutiny. I don't think it does as a freely willing agent is an incoherent idea -- to the extent it is expressing will it is deterministic, to the extent it is allowing freedom it is random. Deliberation is just a series of related throughts to get to a decisoin - we can fully accoomodate that without posulating a new form of causality | |
