Pro states: Newton’s Third law of Motion [Action & Reaction] supports the idea of free will, and is contrary to the idea of determinism.
The third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This can be observed both in objects at rest and those that are accelerating. As Con states, this has nothing to do with the physics of thought, so it is an invalid statement. It is purely an opinion.
The idea that human beings trick themselves into believing in free will was laid out in a paper by psychologists Dan Wegner and Thalia Wheatley nearly 20 years ago. They proposed the feeling of wanting to do something was real, but there may be no connection between the feeling and actually doing it.
A new study undertaken by Adam Bear and Paul Bloom, of Yale University, builds on that work and says that the brain rewrites history when it makes its choices, changing our memories so that we believe we wanted to do something before it happened.
Pro has not shown the validity of free will, so the premise that free will, not determinism, is, on balance, the best explanation for man’s active interaction with the universe is not valid.
