Three Dimension Of Free Will

To have free will means people can make decisions independently for themselves and they behaviorally have the freedom to take other actions.If we treat this self-deciding subject as a psychological subject, we will obtain a sort of psychological freedom as an illusion. Psychological freedom interprets freedom as a perceivable living condition under which the individual is free from external restraints and any effect of the experience world, however, the condition exceeds the limit that a psychological agent can reach. In the perspective of the psychological dimension, freedom is seen as a consequence that has been pursued. Although the consequence is bound to be unfulfillable, it is indeed a concrete motive for the psychological agent. For this reason, the psychological freedom is practically nonexistent yet with its psychological significance.If we treat the self-deciding subject as will, i.e. a pure subject, we will achieve a pure freedom as the law-making process. Pure freedom interprets freedom as a conception in which the subject of will independently stipulates their intention. The stipulation is not only independent of the content of their intention, but also free from all empirical features of the subject. In terms of purity, freedom is what will stipulates on the basis of experience, that is, a pure a priori form. Pure freedom exists a priori and the significance of which lies in the range of intentions that will can stipulate. The wider the range is, the more significant the freedom. Moral law should not violate free will. The importance of moral law is not to force the individual to take certain actions but to ensure the range of intentions will not shrink with will's arbitrary decisions, that is, to protect the value of pure freedom.Will is not to condition a single object but to make either-or choices among different kinds of mental content according to knowledge. Under such circumstances, we will acquire the time dimension of free will. In the view of time dimension, freedom means to choose among multiple objects. The supertime free will is represented as the possibility of unlimited and recurrent selection, thus maintaining freedom as a continuous and unfinished choice process. These unfinished choices may not bring the “feeling of freedom” to the individual, but can directly familiarize them with the existence of free will.
