Excerpt from Fated or Free?
In recording this little dialogue there has been no thought of proving any thesis or even of discussing a great question with the fulness it deserves. The aim has simply been to present as forcibly as possible the various objections which have been brought against the doctrine of free will from sev eral different points of view and to see what answers a defender of the doctrine could offer. Originality for most of the argu ments on either side cannot be claimed in a question which has been discussed so often, but I think that fairness in stating both sides of the question maybe. The working out of this little discussion has been a source of great pleasure to the writer and it is the whole of his hope that it may prove of some interest to the reader; if not in itself, at least as a starting point for the reader's own thoughts on the subject.
