“Free Willy - Call of freedom for the #free #will

In this essay, I deal firstly with “the #philosophical #problem of #freedom of will”, then with the #empirical attacks on freedom of will” and finally with the ‘latest #results of #cognitive #neuroscience’ of #self-control. The whole thing is then rounded off with “proposals for overcoming the #determinism-freedom-of-will #dualism.

The Partial Historians, Boosted from @AllEndlessKnot: Today is #CommonwealthDay so the #ConnectedAtBirth #etymology of the week is COMMONWEALTH/MUTUAL/MAD/WILL #wotd #Commonwealth #mutual #mad #will Media description: With the US descending into madness, Canada is increasingly turning to its Commonwealth ties for mutual support and good will, and this makes good etymological sense too. Common comes through Old French comun “common, general, free, open, public”, from Latin communis “common, general, universal, public”, ultimately traceable back to the Proto-Indo-European compound *ko-moin-i- “held in common” (with the prefix *ko- “together”), formed from the suffixed o-grade form *moi-n- of the root *mei- “to change, go, move”, which often has derivatives referring to the exchange of goods and services within a society regulated by custom or law. This root also came into Latin as mutuus “borrowed, lent; reciprocal, mutual”, which became Old French mutuel and was then borrowed into English in the late 15th c., originally with the sense “reciprocally given and received” with respect to feelings, eventually developing the sense “common” by the 1630s. This PIE root also came into the Germanic branch as Proto-Germanic *ga-maid-az “changed (for the worse), abnormal” (with the collective, intensive, and perfective prefix *ga-), which had the denominative form *ga-maid-jan, which came into Old English as *gemædan “to make insane or foolish” with the past participle gemæded “rendered insane”, eventually giving us the adjective mad.
Media description: Wealth (with the original sense of “state or condition of happiness, well-being, joy”) comes from Old English wele “well-being” + the noun-forming suffix -th denoting action, state, or quality, from Proto-Germanic *welon-, ultimately traceable back to the PIE root *wel- “to wish, will”, also the source of the Old English verb *willan “to wish” (which became the Modern English futural auxiliary verb will) and noun willa “desire, willpower”, which gives us the Modern English noun will.
