ความคิดเห็นที่ 13

เห็นคำถามนี้แล้วนึกถึงหนังสือที่ผมเคยอ่านเมื่อ 2-3 ปีก่อน The World's 20 Greatest Unsolved Problems (ผมซื้อเล่มนี้ที่ร้านหนังสือที่ LAX กะเอาไว้อ่านฆ่าความน่าเบื่อระหว่างการเดินทาง)
free will เป็น 1 ใน 20 ซะด้วย
พอนึกถึง ก็ลองไปค้นกองหนังสือ เพราะจำได้ว่าผมชอบความคิดหนึ่งครับ ของ Dr. Miroslav Baconja เป็น Neurologist ที่ University of Wisconsin Hospital อาจไม่ได้ตอบคำถามของคุณ Cryptomnesia ผมเห็นด้วยในคำอธิบาย free will ของข้อความที่ผมจะลอกมาให้อ่าน และผมเชื่อว่าความฉลาดเกี่ยวกับ free will ครับ
Free will is a phenomenon, a dynamic process. It arises when an organism faces a problem or an obstacle. The number of sulutions for solving the problem is based on the organism's endowment of abilities, inherited (in the form of genetic history and complexity of nervous system) and personal (in the form of life experience) abilities, that will give the impression (to an independent outside observer) of free will.
An example could be illustrated by a question: What is the difference between the free will of a man and the free will of a dog? For either of them to get on the other side of a swollen creek is an obstacle. At any given moment they may have "will" to cross it but how "free" their will is depends on what one considers "free." How and when they will get on the other side will depend on many factors: for a dog it is very limited because in the dog's universe major issues are food (finding one and avoid becoming one), shelter, and once in a while mating, so the incentives for solving this obstacle (we call them degree of freedom) are limited. For a man there are many tangible motivations (food, shelter, mating) and more numerous intangible (social gathering, duty, etc.). So, for a dog, free will is not an issue; the dog will attend to it or go on. For a man it is only a beginning of "planning," which leads to the impression of many choices and therefore many opportunities to exercise different degree of free will. But what and how man proceeds is still constrained by his inherited and personal abilities. And how free his choices are is detrained by the observer who would judge them within the given points of reference. The number of possibilities and complexities of the interactions is significantly magnified by the number of human interactions that come from social structures and roles.
