How one defines words will determine their realism and will expose motives.
Defining words, referring to concepts/ideas, in supernatural terms exposes a possible motive of wanting - willing, choosing - to negate them.
Reality is what anchors concepts/ideas, to a shared world - using words/symbols.
This shared world is an objective limit to all subjective interpretations, all subjective understanding.
The way many duplicitous postmodern psychotics define free-will, particularly the concept of 'free' (independent), constitutes a criterion not even the god of Abraham, in all his omnipotent omniscience, could not attain.
True philosophy begins with the perceptible world.
Bottom<>Up.
Using the term "will" to anchor it on the perceptible actions of living organisms, is a necessary step.
Then we can use 'free' not in an absolute nonsensical, supernatural sense, but as a qualifier of 'Will.'
Such supernatural definitions become popular and are established as conventional, precisely because they replace reasoning with an emotional reward, attracting psychologies that ae seeking relief, or escape, or excuses...or power over their own and other people's weaknesses - their needs and sufferings.
Definitely not seeking truth and an objective understating of themselves and the world.
