Riassunto

<div><div><b>A compelling essay on free will from an internationally recognized authority on atheism, and author of </b><i><b>God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction</b></i><b>.</b><br> &#160;<br> Do we have free will? And if we don&#8217;t, why do we <i>feel</i> as if we do? In a godless universe governed by impersonal laws of cause and effect, are you responsible for your actions? Former evangelical minister Dan Barker (<i>God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction</i>) unveils a novel solution to the question that has baffled scientists and philosophers for millennia. He outlines the concept of what he calls &#8220;harmonic free will,&#8221; a two-dimensional perspective that pivots the paradox on its axis to show that there is no single answer&#8212;both sides are right. Free will is a useful illusion: not a scientific, but a social truth. &#160;&#160;</div></div>
