Even in viewpoints that ostensibly oppose the existence of free will, there is inevitably a latent premise of free will. This is unavoidable as all thought rely on language; and through language the implication of free will creeps into most propositions. Words like "I" invariable engenders questions of free will. "I" by cultural precedent and practical considerations always indicate the existence of a free individual. Therefore, any argument against free will that relies on natural languages will have holes in them. But this doesn't disprove free will. Lack of evidence against is never evidence for. The lack of free will is something that has to be felt. But then again that same man feels free will too.
