Freedom and Determinism, a Naturalistic Approach

Title
Freedom and Determinism, a Naturalistic Approach
Description
Free will is not necessarily an illusion. "The hardware of the brain may be governed by deterministic laws, yet on the level of mental functioning we could still respond to reasons, and so we could still be self-controllers who deliberate effectively, act purposefully, pursue the good, avoid the avoidable, and even reprogramme ourselves on the basis of experience."?
