Marsha:
What James argues still means nothing to me.  I still neither accept free-will & determinism, nor reject free-will & determinism.  They are conventions, static patterns and analogy.  There's no autonomous entity with a will, only conventions, static patterns and analogy.  I put them in the same category as God.  The interesting question is how do you lessen the attachment to static quality to become more free.
