Re: A Revolution in Thought: Part Two
I laid out what I saw as the tautology as presented by Lessans. It's apparent and obvious to me. Demonstrate that it is not circular and that I am wrong.
The foundational premise, "Humans always move in the direction of greater satisfaction" is a tautology because Lessans defined all actions/choices, whether voluntary or involuntary, as movement in the direction of greater satisfaction. His conclusion that "Mans will is not free because humans always move in the direction of greater satisfaction" is therefore also a tautology, because all actions/choices are already included in the premise.
