Argument against free-will:
Theological determinism: our bodies are not subject to determinism, but our souls are.
a.)argument of God's foreknowledge-how could you do anything other than what God knows your gonna do
b.)God is omniscient, therefore he infallibly knows the future- Suppose God knows what you're gonna do tomorrow: how can what you do tomorrow be free?
Thorny problem: Christians who simultaneously believe in free-will and God. If God didn't know what you will do every day of your life, he wouldn't be God.

Argument for free-will:intuition
a.)It seems, from our 1st person experience, that we are free--before we act, there appears to be any number of things we could do
(ex.)Finger example: hold your finger in the air and you can do any number of different tricks with it.
determinist objection: This is a subjective illusion and a naive view. Intuition is just another word for sloppy thinking; people have all sorts of wrong and ridiculous intuitions.

free-will advocate's rebuttal to determinist objection: Palmer says that the burden of proof is on determinism, because everything in our experience points to free-will.
(ex.)agonizing over what to do with your day.

determinist rebuttal to free will rebuttal: like watching an old detective movie we get so caught up in what's happening and trying to figure out what will happen, we forget that the movie was made a long time ago and the ending is already set in stone.
This is comparable to you being caught up in what's happening in your life.

in-determinist argument: influence vs. necessity People are influenced by things, but that doesn't make is necessary.
determinist rebuttal: people are full of themselves.

Argument from regret (free-will): If we don't have free-will, why do we pine for lost loves and missed opportunities. People would not regret things, w/o a strong intuition of free-will.
determinist rebuttal: people regret things because of their false presupposition of free-will.

argument from mathmatics: If human actions were determined, we'd be able to predict them. Psychology would be a hard-science, not a soft one.
rebuttal from determinism: humans are so complex and psychology is a relatively young science. Give it time.

Satre: believes we have a radical freedom: we ultimately determine who we are and how we interpret the world. Including: identity/self-concept, what we regard as the meaning of life, and how we live.

Satre says, there's always the option of suicide. The fact that you didn't shoot yourself this morning proves you saw things as important enough to continue, which is your free-choice.

Bad Faith: acting as if you were a passive inert object vs. an active agent with freedom.
simply allowing things to happen to you.

Being for itself: Satre uses for humans experience of the world.

Being in itself: the world apart from experience.

Dostoevsky's perverse freedom: The freedom to do what you shouldn't do. Doing what you should not do for the very reason that you should not do it.
