“___________ If you’re going to make global claims that behavior is determined, you better know something about causation, matter, and consciousness. Causation, because it’s determinism’s number one premise. Matter, because it’s what causation would work upon and govern were it to exist. And consciousness, because that’s what the question is all about – whether free will is, or isn’t, its most fundamental attribute. These are the three pillars which support determinist doctrine. They rest on shaky ground.”
