Free Will: A Response to Sam Harris

Do we have free will? Leading atheist Sam Harris says, No! We are just puppets of unconscious forces. Kurt Keefner responds, Yes! Our power to explore the world makes us free. In this extended essay, Keefner answers the arguments in Harris’ 2012 book "Free Will" and then provides a more realistic and nuanced portrait of how we make choices. Ironically, concludes Keefner, Harris is the victim of leftover religious notions in his thinking.

"Bottom line, Keefner’s book is a must read for anyone interested in the current state of the free will debate." -Eric Field, Examiner.com
