Sam Harris' little book on Free Will was published in 2012, gaining a receptive response from scientifically-minded followers. In this first part of a two part series, Allan will put Harris' two key arguments against the human capacity for free will under the microscope. Harris' first point is that we could not have behaved differently than we in fact did. His second appeals to his introspecting that we are not the conscious source of our choices and actions. Allan’s full critique, 'Sam Harris, Free Will and Moral Responsibility', is at https://www.rationalrealm.com/philosophy/metaphysics/sam-harris-free-will-morality.html His shorter book review of Harris' book is at https://www.rationalrealm.com/philosophy/reviews/sam-harris-free-will.html
