[MD] Freewill

[Michael R. Brown]

One of my tests of a philosophical idea, issue, tradition, whatever is - and 
this is ahistorical, for sure - would it occur to me on a desert island? 
Would it arise anywhere but out of an historical frame alignment, where you 
signal you're a good serious philosopher by tackling the approved list of 
questions and issues?

I'm not sure that the issue of free will would arise on my desert island.

But not everyone wants to "waken from the nightmare of history." It can be a 
strange place.
