The Importance of Intuition in Decision Making

When a criminal stands in front of the judge's bench, the legal system wants to know whether he is blameworthy. For example, you might punish your child if she writes with a crayon on the wall but wouldn't punish her if she did the same thing while sleepwalking. The difference lies in your intuitions about free will. All these distinctions pivot on the assumption that we possess free will. But do we? Science can't yet figure out a way to say, yes, we have it.
