    In different philosophies and literary works, the ideas of fate and free will have always contradicted each other, creating tension. The difference between the two concepts is evident; free will advocates choice and the ability to shape your own future, while fate governs your actions for the rest of your life, similar to the Calvinist belief of predestination in regards to salvation. Having such distinct natures, how is it possible for these two ideas to coexist and sometimes merge into one being containing both of their qualities? To understand their coexistence, situations from different works must be analyzed. Not long ago, I watched the film Minority Report by Steven Spielberg, and I noticed John Anderton’s struggle against fate. Although…

    The notion of free will is something we’re all born with, it’s not taught to us. We grow up with the idea that we are in conscious control of all our actions and thoughts. How could we not? It feels like we make all our own decisions, we chose to eat that pie, or go on that run due to eating said pie.

    concept of free will. He believed that free will is prominent within humans and that it is compatible with determinism.

Ayer successfully defends his claims about free will by first breaking down the issue of free will, then defining his idea of constraint. He further argues that there is a difference between ordinary caused action…

    In his article “Evil and Omnipotence,” J.L. Mackie explores the various adequate and fallacious solutions to the “problem of evil,” a problem in which “God is omnipotent; God is wholly good; and yet evil exists” (p. 119). While Mackie discusses, analyzes, and criticizes many solutions, including “good cannot exist without evil” (p. 120) and “evil is necessary as a means to good” (p. 122), my paper will solely focus on Mackie’s response to the fallacious solution that “evil is due to human…
