@PhilosophyExp Follow me? They've been told how to react, so it's not *truly* free will, right?
Libet's study misinterpreted? Free will is back in the game! Maybe. http://bit.ly/MKIbNr #freewill #philosophy

@suzybrown Libet's study showed that stuff was happening in the brain before people became aware they had made a decision. So, no free will.

@PhilosophyExp I'm sure you can explain: how can any experiment like this be trusted when the participants have been told what to do? -
@suzybrown@PhilosophyExp That's related to how Jing Zhu reinterpreted Libet's results nine years ago: http://philpapers.org/rec/ZHURVA -
@lippard@PhilosophyExp I'm asking if the method of the study negates a true 'free will' response. -
@suzybrown@PhilosophyExp I'm strongly inclined to say that so-called "libertarian free will" (uncaused agent causation) is incoherent. -
@lippard@suzybrown So am I. Indeed, I suggested such a thing to Ted Honderich. He disagreed. http://bit.ly/NbiqZo#freewill -
@PhilosophyExp@lippard That was heavy reading for me because I'm not good at this :/ Thanks anyway
