Will as Both Free and Conditioned

In Formaterialism, Will is a Material Principle of Experience, i. e. it is an immanent cause of the Diversification of a given Unity. Hence, it is both free and conditioned by its circumstances. In some systems, that combination of characteristics of 'Will' is fatally contradictory. But, in those systems, the 'Free Will vs. Determinism' debate is usually either explicitly or vestigially ancillary to a more fundamental problem--the origin of 'Evil'. For, in systems that assert all three of the following--that Evil exists, that God is omnipotent, and that God is Good--God cannot be the source of Evil. Hence, the proof of the existence of Free Will is, in those systems, a means to ascribing to humans responsibility for the existence of Evil, which is why that Freedom must be established as absolutely independent of circumstances. In contrast, Formaterialism has no such theological commitments, so it is satisfied to let fidelity to experiential facts serve as the criterion of the soundness of its concept of Will. Meanwhile, the difficulty in seemingly all actual cases to classify someone as absolutely either fully responsible or as a victim of circumstances, is strong evidence that the traditional Free Will-Determinism debate is an idle oversimplification of human conduct.
