The physics of interactionism
Journal of Consciousness Studies 6 (8-9):165–184 (1999)
Abstract
There is another hard problem, in addition to the problem of how anything material can have the subjective, first-person phenomenology of consciousness (Chalmers, 1995). It is the problem of how anything material can have freedom. By ‘freedom’ I mean a person’s ability to behave in a purposive, non-random fashion that is not determined by neurophysiological structure and physical law.Author's Profile
