Following the lead of the great Daniel Dennett, in this final full episode in our opening series on the Philosophy of Mind, we'll take the many challenges we've reviewed, and turn them on their heads to create the beginnings of an explanation for the way we experience individual Free Will.

As we've discussed all along, the way we use language, and the way language developed, and continued to develop, for us, will play a leading role in our description.
