The denial of the possibility of freedom, i. e. the existence of a free will
in human behaviour is an important feature of my system. I go further and deny
the ontological actuality of the abstractions *cause* and *effect* and
replace the reifications with *causal objects* and *causal eventities.* Although I
accept the Churchlandian neuroscientific version with its denial of *mind* and
*consciouness* the emphasis of eliminative determinism concentrates on the
historical abstractive flim-flam with which Folk Determinism is saddled. In a way
it continues where Hume left off.
Jud:
You are confusing or identifying the general term “freedom” with the
particular term “free-will.” Obviously, the term “free-will” is an oxymoron since
“will” is the negation of “freedom.”
