[Cz-philosophy] Cz-philosophy Digest, Vol 4, Issue 1 Free will v determinism

My 2 cents (Mark Boyle)
I think that the description of 'free will' involve a discussion of 
'determinism', just like, as you say, mind/body. Therefore the title 
'Free Will and Determinism' is probably the way to go. Just a minor 
point (please don't take this the wrong way), the article I read with 
the title 'Free Will' uses the word 'we' a lot. While it talks about 
humans as 'we' (my apologies to any dogs or cats that may be reading 
this :-) ), I'm not sure that the word is a good one to use so 
frequently. Mind you, I can't think of a good alternative.
Cheers
Mark
