How is it possible for someone to not feel as if they have free will?
People can have all sorts of delusions. That at least is common ground between those who believe in free will and those who don’t!
People can feel as if they don’t have the capacity for love. Perhaps some people really don’t – but mostly they are mistaken. You could perhaps convince yourself that you didn’t have free will, but even if this were true it would not imply that others did not.
PS I’ve looked at the foreword of The Illusion of Free Will. He is stuck in the obsolete idea that the brain is deterministic. So the book is simply wrong.
