[Busto]

How one feels about a philosophical issue or problem, without any further justification, hardly counts at all. Opinions based on purely emotional responses do not score high points in philosophy because feelings are just that-feelings. Reasons, however, can be criticized or praised, judged to be good or bad, plausible or implausible, strong or weak. Indeed it is the job of reason to control or keep in check the emotions, or hold back the fanatical zealot.
-Socrates

The conviction of freedom is built into every normal, conscious, intentional action…this sense of freedom…is part of any action. Action directs compatibility and incompatibility, making behavior anything but free.
Our conception of physical reality simply does not allow for libertarian freedom. Compatibility does not offer anything like the resolution of the conflict between freedom and determinism that our urge to libertarianism really demands.
-Any libertarian

[Busto]

It is part of the business of philosophy to continue the consideration of unanswered questions, to make us aware of their importance, to examine all the approaches to them, and to keep alive that speculative interest in the universe which is apt to be killed by confining ourselves to definitely ascertainable knowledge.
