I should add that although there are some things I agree with regarding the compatibilist version given by the author, there are other things I do not agree with. I will side step the question of exactly what because I think it would take a long time to unpack and I am not sure exactly what his definitional system involves.

 

I have embraced the concepts of downward causation and strong emergence, although these require significant elaborations to be clear what they mean.

Best,
