Nuel Belnap: and free will (pdf, 52K)
My plan is to use the broadest of brushes to describe rigorous but low key notions of indeterminism and free will as they occur in some recent work based on the idea of "branching histories."1 It is of course not so obvious in advance at just which target we are aiming, although below we report some contributions by baseball’s Yogi Berra that help clarify our hopes. In the meantime, although it will hardly be surprising if you Hnd yourself harboring deiinite reservations and uncertainties, I hope the meaning of our ideas will become moderately clear. |
