Is the free will we seem to experience just an illusion?
There are few libertarians who believe free will is not central to the meaning and character of human life.
However, if the loss of some control proves against free will, regaining some must prove for it.
Thus, experiencing the illusion of free will does have consequences.
The usual clash fails on both sides because free will is a feeling, whereas determinism is a process.
Should we assume that we no longer have free will?
Jevons, like many of his contemporaries, simply dropped the metaphysics of free will from the list of things that successful human science needed to support.
Many pursued their tasks, in science as well, without bothering much with the limits or non-limits of predestination and free will.
