Is the passage below an argument, an explanation of why, or neither?“You probably think that you have free will. Nonetheless, free will is an illusion because every event, including our decisions and our actions, are causally determined by prior events.”

Consider the following passage:“Many people use classical ph…

Consider the following passage:“Many people use classical physics to argue that everything is determined and that we don’t have free will. But doesn’t quantum mechanics show us that subatomic particles move in unpredictable ways? This means that determinism is false. Therefore, we do have free will.”What should we do with following sentence?“Determinism is false.” 

Consider the following passage:“Were you convinced by the pr…

Consider the following passage:“Were you convinced by the preceding argument? Take a moment to consider the true implications of quantum mechanics. We can’t simultaneously determine the position and momentum of subatomic particles. This shows that these particles move in an unpredictable way. This, in turn, shows that the universe is ultimately random, which shows that all decisions and actions are random as well. And doesn’t this mean that there’s no free will?”What should we do with following sentence?“Were you convinced by the preceding argument?”
