Today's post:
Why Science Hasn’t Disproved Free Will: A Review of Alfred Mele’s “Free”
Feser attacks a strawman here by focusing on Libet's original experiments only, and completely ignoring the subsequent investigations along similar lines; the Wikipedia article Neuroscience of free will gives a useful summary.
The other issue of course is that “free will” is not exactly a well-defined concept, and “do we have free will” appears to be a wrong question.
(I hadn't previously noticed that Feser had written for that odious organ the City Journal, which seems to exist to distill out the worst of allegedly-‘intellectual’ conservatism and concentrate it in one steaming pile.)
