Dispatches from the Post-Cartesian World


I've posted a lot about the crisis of free will and how theologians and ministers will have to rethink things in a post-Cartesian world. See the following posts for my observations on this topic:

Salvation in a Post-Cartesian World
Strong and Weak Volitionists
Ministering in a Post-Cartesian World

Well, just to keep this point alive--that my theology friends will need to be working on weak volitional (or even free-will-less) models--there is yet another dispatch from the frontlines of the Post-Cartesian world. Check out Dennis Overbye's January 2 essay in the New York Times: Free Will: Now You Have It, Now You Don’t.

Thanks to Dr. Mark Love, one of the most courageous of my theological friends, for the link.
