摘要：In 2011, Florida became one of the international centers of inquiry into free will, when the Templeton Foundation gave a center grant to Alfred Mele, a professor of philosophy at Florida State. That grant is the basis for facilitating the efforts by thinkers and researchers around the world to understand free will, as well as making some effort to coordinate their efforts and bring both scientific observation and philosophical rigor to the collective inquiry. Surveys show that most people believe in free will to some extent. Is this belief justified? In what sense do people have free will? If there is such a thing, how does it work?
