초록

In this article, I will first make a distinction between belief of free will and feeling of free will and claim that even though it seems plausible to say that only humans have belief of free will, feeling of free will might be something different and therefore might exist in nonhuman animals as well. To illustrate this point, researches from psychologists, such as Baumeister to those from neuroscientists are dealt. Then, I will delve further into the feeling of free will and make the case that humans have feeling of free will not because we actually have free will but because this type of feeling evolved. I will then present possible theories including various evolutionary theories that try to explain how feeling of free will has evolved in humans. I will conclude the article by mentioning the implications and limitations of the study and end it with suggestions for further researches.

Abstract

In this article, I will first make a distinction between belief of free will and feeling of free will and claim that even though it seems plausible to say that only humans have belief of free will, feeling of free will might be something different and therefore might exist in nonhuman animals as well. To illustrate this point, researches from psychologists, such as Baumeister to those from neuroscientists are dealt. Then, I will delve further into the feeling of free will and make the case that humans have feeling of free will not because we actually have free will but because this type of feeling evolved. I will then present possible theories including various evolutionary theories that try to explain how feeling of free will has evolved in humans. I will conclude the article by mentioning the implications and limitations of the study and end it with suggestions for further researches.
