Daniel M. Wegner's The Illusion Of Conscious Will Analysis
Daniel M. Wegner in 2002 publishes a book titled The Illusion of Conscious Will, in which he exhibits a large amount of evidence that shows we do not know how we work. They ultimately indicate that we have no freedom of will. All evidence consists of experimental research and studies in which human beings experience the illusion of control, feeling that they, with their own free and conscious will, shape their events and their own behavior, while it is an illusion. The same actions, behaviors, and behavior determine something else - just the unconscious mental processes. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to demonstrate the ways in which this experience emerges through several examples and show that contemporary neuroscientism shows that free

Therefore, the action is described as something we intend to do and ultimately do, whether it is conscious product of will or not. Simultaneously with carrying out some action there are also thoughts that warn us that we are ourselves as human workers because of such an act. That is why there are various mechanisms that consider the relationship between our actions and our thoughts, and the experience of conscious voluntary action comes as a result of our interpretative system. Voluntary action is something a worker can do when we ask him or when he or she deliberately decides that something will be done, actions can be started or stopped by the employee himself and take place in specific parts of the brain and nerve pathways that in most cases differ from the paths Which are the result of involuntary actions. John Searle in the book Intentionality: An Essay in the Philosophy of Mind (1983) introduces the distinction between the previous intent and intent that is contained in the act. He states that the thoughts we have at the time we do some action warn us of the fact that we are the cause of the act alone, but all the mental contents that accompany and support the causative action do not have to be the result of conscious processes at the time of action. That is why intent should appear in consciousness at the time when we are moving, and beliefs, desires, and plans must serve as a benchmark for intent. It is precisely because of this the experience of a conscious will that we feel as causal workers, warning the mind that the actions that are the result of their own actions have taken
