Points about the sciences of freedom

שו"תPoints about the sciences of freedom
שאל לפני 3 שנים

Hello Rabbi
I would be happy to clarify a few points from the book The Science of Freedom:
1- Does every materialist position necessarily advocate strong emergentism, or is only materialism that attempts to incorporate free will within it based on emergentism?
2- Did Libet's experiments actually show cases in which there was an rp, and the person vetoed and decided not to press the button, or is this just a hypothesis? Because if the findings did show that a person did not raise his hand despite the rp, then the experiment supposedly proves free will and there is no basis for materialism, am I wrong?
3- I would be happy to clarify the claim of unity of consciousness, that is, why the very fact that we do not experience polyphony is an indication of the soul, since the materialist would explain that the left hemisphere unites all of our experiences (just as you showed in the book), and in addition constitutes the source of the experience itself, so on the face of it it seems that the libertarian would not necessarily gain (nor would he necessarily lose) from the argument of unity of consciousness.
4- In the book God Plays Dice, do you touch on the question of the relationship between evolution and consciousness in a more detailed and profound way?
Thank you very much.

1. Regarding free will, this is clear. But strong emergentism is also possible in relation to other phenomena. For example, mental phenomena themselves are difficult to see as being explained on the basis of the body by way of weak emergentism. 2. I don't remember exactly, but Libet explained the results of his experiments this way. This is also what emerged from later experiments. In any case, it should be remembered that they made different assumptions there, so we are not talking about completely pure phenomena. 3. It can always be argued that some voices are silenced by others. But the fact is that there are several voices within us, and each of them has an expression if the key or one of the sides is neutralized. 4. No. I don't have anything particularly smart to say about it.
