ABSTRACT

The supposed problem of free will emerges with full force within a “deterministic” world view only, that is, where physics (to put it a little simplistically) draws a picture of the world that resembles the movement of a clock. Modern quantum physics, with its “non-deterministic” probability statements, seems more likely to blur the problem of free will than to solve it. More precisely, this blurring of the problem is caused not by physics itself, of course, but by impermissible interpretations.
