As for free will, a way to think about this in the context of a purely materialist determinist worldview is that we are volitional beings through (1) our modular minds that have many competing neural networks, which (2) allow us to make real choices by veto power—"free won't"—over contending impulses, which (3) give us a range of volitional choices by varying degrees of freedom, so (4) our choices are part of the causal net but free enough for most of us in most circumstances to be accountable for our actions.
