ABSTRACT
FREE WILL AND DETERMINISM It is a Saturday night. You have two choices. You can go out to dinner and a movie with some friends or stay in and study for a test you have on Monday morning. Which will it be? What factors infl uence your decision? Is it the lure of having fun with your friends? Th e importance of the exam? Th e amount of time you have available to study on Sunday? Now think about how you made the decision. Was it a subconscious or a conscious process that you were aware of? If the latter, can you describe what the process was like? Was this decision even under your control? Might you act the same if put into the identical situation in the future?
