A man as we know can reason, make abstract conclusions, distinguish between right and wrong, understand, reflect, plan for the future,make judgements,remember which are falculties independent of matter ?We have free will(to act or not to act), animals act only on instinct and sense[s] which are organs of the body.If a horse has not eaten for one day,and you put hay in front of him,he will eat because his instinct moves him to do so. But a hungry man may fast for days and still refuse to eat.
A man can say no to himself.
Man's free will(to act or not to act) and animal instinct.
Is there a law or theory regarding the change of man's animal instinct to man's free will (the ability to tell himself no, when instinct induces him to give way).Just for research sake.
Thank you.
I apologize for over elaborate details,so to straighten out any ambiguities.
