is there free will?

[The Stranger]

to avoid confusion, the question is hypothetical. i dont conclude there is no rational mind, but if there is none, what would be the case.

Sasaki i will come back to your question soon. and as to beskar, that is not what i meant. i mean more, do we have control over our own actions or are they determined. if you can predict my actions but not alter them than you have no control, so my will is still free if already was in the first place.

the modern definition of free will, at least in the dictionaries includes the requirement of rationality.

Free will is the purported ability of rational agents to exercise control over their actions, decisions, or choices to such an extent that they can be held responsible for their selections. (wikipedia)

“Free Will” is a philosophical term of art for a particular sort of capacity of rational agents to choose a course of action from among various alternatives. (stanford)

and so the list continues.

maybe i should add another question, does an animal have free will. an animal like a pig per example.
