Abstract

ABSTRACT:This essay examines error and both external freedom and internal freedom. There is no external freedom (the latitude to choose) without internal freedom (the capacity to choose). Concerning external freedom, it suggests that errors serve as a derivative basis for natural rights. Concerning internal freedom, it overviews four groundbreaking papers from the 1990s by Stephen Boydstun, who suggested that there is no external freedom without internal indeterminism—specifically that associated with quantum probabilities related to neuronal control processes. Also reviewed is work by Elio Conte and by Andrei Khrennikov. Experiments involving a quantum-like model of cognition are discussed.

错误、自由意志和自由

摘要:本文考察了误差与外部自由和内部自由的关系。没有内在的自由(选择的能力)就没有外在的自由(选择的纬度)。关于外部自由，它认为错误是自然权利的派生基础。关于内部自由，它概述了Stephen Boydstun在20世纪90年代发表的四篇开创性论文，他认为没有内部不确定性就没有外部自由，特别是与神经元控制过程相关的量子概率相关的不确定性。还审查了埃利奥·孔蒂和安德烈·赫伦尼科夫的作品。实验涉及量子模型的认知进行了讨论。
