Campbell’s “Has the Self Free Will?”

First, make sure it’s clear which position Campbell is endorsing.  Does he think we do or we don’t have free will?  Does he think the universe is deterministic or indeterministic?  Does he think determinism is compatible with free will or not?

Campbell says many things about free will.  Try to separate out which are his reasons.  He is arguing for free will (okay, this answers one of the previous questions), but which things that he talks about out are supposed to be evidence that will convince us that we really do have free will?  In other words, what is Campbell’s argument?

Can you think of any way of accounting for that evidence other than by conceding that we have free will?
