@18:47 Dr. Leiter took your question to be about "introspection," but phenomenology and introspection are definitely not the same. Given the way he didn't say anything substantial in the "Implications in Legal Philosophy" section, I'm inclined to think he dodged your phenomenology question with a canned criticism of introspection. Great camera work, sound quality, and lighting!

I love this channel. Wonderful conversation. I am very surprised that in a debate about free will in an American university a text like Skinner's "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" is not cited or taken into account. I don't think anyone has given better arguments against free will than Skinner. Skinner makes it clear that it is possible to be a determinist without appealing to the idea of ​​destiny or genetic predetermination.

Jonathan! I have been agreeably drawn into your world by your series on Girard, whose work arrested me upon first meeting and continues to reveal aspects of the reality that presents itself to me. Thank you for that rich gift! I recently took in your Nietzsche lecture and interview with Leiter and have this feeling that you are teetering on your own leap of faith in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. I sense this because of your understandable focus on Christianity--the ideas and acts of the disciples from the day of New Testament Pentecost to the present--as opposed to Christ himself. Understandable because the opportunities for critique are far more rich than on that divine figure whose teaching and example stop us in every track we make, requiring everything of ourselves in order to participate in his redemptive project. Seriously, I thank God for you and pray that a-mazing grace will always be there for you as you continue to unpack this gift of life.

I don't think free will is necessary to make choices or to live one's life. When I am choosing, I deliberate because I have to. I want the best outcome, so it's in my own interest to deliberate as much and as well as I can. Because I am the kind of being that wants the best outcome, it's inevitable that I will deliberate as I do. I do not choose my knowledge or intelligence; if I could I would will my knowledge and intelligence to be greater than they are. So I am forced to deliberate as I do, and thus my choice is fated. Knowing my choice is fated does not change how I choose. I was always going to try to make the best choice I could with what I had.

There's something overlapping here with reconciling oneself to God's determination of all things, and how this frees one to become who one is as an image of God, in the branch of Christendom I come from (broadly Protestant Calvinism). Do you have any resources on whether Nietzche is critiquing a particular kind of Christian theism, or Christian theism writ large, as he critiques the freedom of the will?

This is a common misunderstanding of identity. What we call unconscious is as much us as what we call consciousness. Our experience is a synergy between multiple agents. I am responsible for my internal actions as much as my outer action, awareness is not required or efficient for the amount of action needed to live from second to second. However, we can explore this relationship through meditation between shared functions. This can be a very uncomfortable experience.

I think we are confusing self-awareness/consciousness for free will. Humans are not free from anything, every part of our bodies are dependent on something. Developing consciousness and the identity is a curse because we gained the knowledge of non-existence and that gives us our core anxiety that is characteristic of humans

I’m currently at 29:43 in arguments against free will. Smell or taste etc don’t have the capacity for storytelling, one of the most important methods of guaranteeing social cohesion across time. One can’t smell Alexander the Great now yet we can read about the rise of Macedonia, amor fati and recurrence if taken the route of naturalism through the lense of narrative shows is the pattern recognition we see in ethical conduct. Philosophies at once find the language to encapsulate the reasons for eachother and at the same time critique its ability to do. A sentence like this can’t be smelled

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and have learned a great deal from it, even without reading Nietzsche. I conduct extensive research in the academic realm and have come to understand that the Christian religion was established by King James to distinguish it from the Catholic Church ("Vatican"), driven by a quest for power. I appreciate the presentation and your perspectives. However, I believe an important aspect is missing: the discussion on how technology now governs "free will." People often overlook that modern technology can influence others through light. Previously, influence was exerted through electric waves, but now it is through light. This video has inspired me to read Nietzsche's books most definitely.

You're very misinformed about the Christian religion... King James authorised the King James Version of the bible to be in opposition to the Catholic bible of the time, but it wasn't King James that "established Christianity"... that would be Jesus Christ. Catholicism IS Christianity; if you're using the term Christianity as a stand-in for "Protestantism" (as so many do under the false impression that Catholics aren't Christians) then you're still incorrect because Protestantism came about long before King James authorised the KJV with the Reformation. You may be getting confused with Henry VIII who formally created the Church of England and rejected papal authority after the Catholic Church refused to annul his marriage

Free will is everything, you make compromises often but it's not like your life is out of control. I am in control over my life and at least a big part. It is a very nice feeling, very satisfying and happy. Find your own balance people, that would be my advice if you look for one. To work out what really makes you feel happy sometimes takes time. Just be patient and go with the flow of life, without switching off. I lived in communism, be careful when you are talking about it or a similar ideology.

The no freewill argument is the last refuge of those who get on a track early in life. They start looking back at some point and can't fathom that it could have happened any other way. When you live a life full of mistakes, and manage to learn from some of them, it becomes apparent that freewill is part of learning and growth. This guy and Robert Saplowsky will be back to ride the wheel of samsara again.

@@gmw3083 Sapolsky's a joke pretty much. In any case, free will is a fundamental faculty of conscious life, so obvious and abundant that it requires no explanation or justification. And it doesn't matter how shitty your life goes, you have just as much free will as anyone else. There's no connection, no overlap whatsoever between one's lot in life and the existence and possession of free will. Absolute dead zero.

What helped save free will for me, is thinking about how the divine will is the source, and it isn't a hypothetical willingness, as God is simple with no parts or potential, yet still free. In other words, free will isn't the power to choose between plurality, but to choose existence in-itself for-itself and by-itself, the divine essense.

Isnt "free will" the ability to go against these biases and subconcious tendencies. If two twins are born introverted and raised completely different but still behave the same, then it is a subconcious behavior. but if one of these two becomes aware of this behavior and actively decides to go against it, then it becomes "free will". To actively go against nearly every single bias or subconcious behavior that one has (once it is known), that is free will to me. His idea of conciousness required to communicate better coordination is interesting and i largely agree. but for the "pure free will" (ability to go against ones biases) i dont see any biological benefit (in the early human societies). Therefore i think the "free will" is something else. Altohugh any explanation for the benefit of an animal to have the ability to actively go against its nature would be enough to discredit this. But for me its the same with the "questioning ones purpose". I dont see any biological benefit of these two that would explain why it developed in an animal by random mutation (homo sapiens) and added enough benefit to justify the ressources necessary.

Ought one to "give up" the idea of free will? Impossible: either because there is no free will, in which case one couldn't truly "choose" to give it up (for all of our choices, including that one, would be illusory), or else because we do have free will, in which case there is no way to escape being free (we are, as Sartre would say, condemned to it).

A gunslinger said: “Be who you are, because if you ain’t who you are, then you are who you ain’t.” Maybe it would be better for the gunslinger if he wasn’t a gunslinger. Maybe he could have been s sherif instead and put gunslingers in the slammer where they belonged. There is good and bad in our dual system, it is better to choose the good, as choosing the bad is going with the weak force which is operating from a position of weakness rather than from a position of strength and ultimately peters out as does the person who chooses it. There is also the Middle Way which Religion, Philosophy, and Psychology recommend which is negotiating a path between the opposites; the dualities of our dual system, as aligning with one of the dualities or the other is likely to constellate its opposite. As in our dual system opposites exist and operate in tandem. We are truly are between the devil and the deep blue sea.

I think, like with many things, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Each of us has a nature, it likely has an immutable aspect but is also influenced by our upbringing, environment, etc, but each of us has the freedom to deny our basic nature and make a different choice. This is the basis of many religious ideas; Christianity emphasises the fallen nature of humanity and our proclivity to sin but commands us to deny ourselves and aspire to the standard set by God, that humans cannot attain due to our fallen nature (hence the need for a saviour in Jesus Christ).

We are _semi-telepathic_ through our olfactory system, the ratty heart of our brain. So neuroscience ftw, this guy was really *proven a loser* and I can now sleep easy 😮‍💨 Thank God, no one else has to be around this guy's endorphins!! "I got bit by a snake and I have to tell you!!" Lol my dad was bit by a rattlesnake as a kid... Cave men to children can understand danger/happiness/most anything sans words. I used to be really judgemental of men in relationships with women that speak a different language but... ∃ spiritual things we just can't put words to 😅

really disappointing to see jonathan cope against rationality and emprical evidence in favor of metaphysics i guess it is apparent that in his mind it contradicts his active/encouraging persona idk tho why he would of all things disagree with this most fundamental assumption nietzsche bases all his other views on ideas like the eternal recurrence is nietzsche formulating solutions to cope with live inspite of this realization using the few concious (though still unfree ofc) moments to rationalize this and set us up for a greater life

After hear and poundering the arguments, I think the "do we have free will or not" is an irrelevant question.

I don’t agree with this. Animals operate entirely according to instinct. Humans have both instinct and reason. What is the purpose or reason if it is not to negotiate a path, or choice, between our instinctive and our rational or cognitive self? It is in error and downgrades the human to say we do not have free will. The scope of our free will is circumscribed. For example, we cannot cause a thunderstorm to end by our command but we have much within our scope where we can exercise our will and judgement. To suggest that as humans we are automatons is abhorrent.

Leiter argues that our conscious life is incredibly shallow and limited in perceiving what is “really” driving us. Ie. we aren’t conscious / reason cannot even access our deepest drives

@@bi.johnathan Reason is a function, it negotiates a path between opposites and helps us to maintain a balance between wants, needs, and the environment. It helps us negotiate a path between the rational and the non-rational.

You mean soul agency isn't. Free will inertia Is the actor or action of person. You can measure free will . Niechtze gives up subjective properties and idealism for physicalism. Soul agency correlated with eternal cosmos, soul agency drives free will inertia frame of reference. Personal responses, action is not individual.. English is a triality German and catholic dualism. Their Is a soul individual They're are personal responses and measureable free will mobility Form and shape is there also Niechtze despised uk & America . But American founders choice of free will term Is because it's measured medium

Triangulated measure of thermodynamical systems. Kinda like realitivity, falling in gravity pictures you've seen a million times but in the more atomized realm of self & frame of reference. Lagrangian space is a primordial self made up of many topographical Astronomical energy density measured per scale cells in biology alignment with how hamiltonian split soul agency & occelating spirit feilds and waves z axis. Were einstein merged with x giving us f/x I think set theory calls it. Descartes dualism mind / body is also a dualistic hemisphere brain of matter y axis like the prenticiously clocklike view our eyes give us that's more uniform & ordered looking to us when really it's not..

@tyata.1999 The psychological results that were once mistaken as religious desputes have proven to be deeper through anthrosphy millions of cross-cultural ,multi generational, with no regard to socio-political or economic order just simply compute a certain old world macro micro taxonomical order and cateregory of mind in how they want the world to be and they're very hardheaded towards the evidence where millions of paper cuts Over many centuries has to be manipulated to fit their pre conceived order of affinity about how nature & universe should be.
