Default Re: Free Will (again)

I am stating that free will is an emergent property. I am stating, free will is the controling of the input, and the wieghting.

[ QUOTE ]
One can state that a criminal who performs a henious deed is acting in free will which is not the case. the performance of the henious deed there is a diminished activity of knowing(one can say he is clouded in his understanding) and is therefore acting under compulsion.


[/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure why this matters? Sometimes murder is commited with free-will, we calll this premeditated murder, other times it's not, we hold the person responsible regardless.

Free will does not exist without the moral tonality of man.
