acknowledges 'free will' - but what story doesn't? I think that the
evidence is that it was the Ancient Greeks who first worried about the

Yes, and why would he even be fretting about the "Golden Compass,"
which is a work of fiction. What kind of mind
would throw it into the same pot with the work of Dennet and
Dawkens? And I notice he does not even mention Dennet's "The Varieties
of Free Will Worth Wanting" and his "Consciousness
Explained," which actually present some careful analysis
of 'free will'.
