This audio file was created from a revision of this page dated 15 September 2006, and does not reflect subsequent edits.

The first sentence of this article needs to be restated.

The way the opening sentence is worded, "free will" is a scientific fact, not a belief, feeling, or theory. 2600:8801:BE01:7C00:D7:BFCA:E351:6CA7 (talk) 19:41, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

D'accorde. I've edited it to suggest the ambiguity you refer to. AbominableIntelligence (talk) 08:19, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As the article discusses numerous definitions of free will, shouldn't the first paragraph be a more general or historical introduction rather than one particular definition of free will? Citation Maven (talk) 05:33, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Free will is metaphysics, not a scientific fact lol 79.44.170.162 (talk) 13:46, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Other Experiments" no reliable info

While there's no citation after the paragraph, the mentioned thought experiment therein is attributed to a guy called Ender Tosun, who seems to be a religious personality (and not a philosopher), thus harassing the quality and independence of the article 78.173.66.59 (talk) 22:26, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. It was added in 2020 as the first edit by a short-lived editor, and originally had a self-published source. That src was replaced with a citation needed in early 2023 by User:CactiStaccingCrane. That material should probably never have been allowed to stay. Meters (talk) 22:46, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

create page and paragraph: Free will vs. different brains also Free will vs. different initial conditions

According to neuroscientific facts not all brains has the same general and specific abilities and disabilities.

Thus the organ of reasoning isn't fair and equal for everyone.

Supernaturalists have no theory of the soul (they're agnostic about its mechanism/function) (and the few ones how have, they don't have rigorous ones). 2A02:2149:8B7E:3700:CFC:519:2996:DAC8 (talk) 06:52, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
