自由意志:幻象、纷争与解答

Free will:Illusion,Dissonance and Answers

人类是否能够以及怎样有意识地控制自己的行为?自由意志是否作为一种独立的力量存在?现代神经科学的实验结果引发了激烈的争议。兼容论、自由论与消除论从各自的立场出发,对自由意志问题的阐释与解答作出新的尝试。自由意志问题争论的核心是:相容性问题和意义问题;可理解性问题和存在问题。在确定性的世界里,也许的确不存在客观的选择自由,但是并不能排除自由的主观性。客观世界中的"随机"和主观世界中的"自由"是不同的概念。无论是否相信存在自由意志,我们都必须提出一个超越目前所拥有的概念框架以重新统合心灵与物理的因果法则。

Whether and how humans have conscious control over their own behavior？ Does free will exist as an independent force？ The results of modern neuroscience have sparked intense controversies.Compatibilism,Freedom and Eliminatism make a new attempt at the explanation of the problem of free will and the answers to the questions from their standpoints respectively.The core of the debate of the issue of free will is compatibility,meaning,intelligibility and existence.Perhaps,indeed there is no freedom of objective choice in a world of certainty.However,the subjectivity of freedom can not be excluded.＂Randomness＂ in objective world and the ＂freedom＂ in subjective world are different concepts.Whether or not we believe there is free will,we must propose a conceptual framework beyond the current counterpart to reintegrate the spiritual and physical laws of cause and effect.
