and dumping the body on the side of the road, the choice is yours. Americans are blessed with the power of free will, you are in charge of the choices you make and the consequences that come along with them. You are the master of your own fate and you are responsible for your future. You are in charge of yourself, the choice is yours on how you plan on living your life. Everybody wants to be free and everybody intends on creating the most extravagant life they possibly…

In my argument, I am going to support Strawson’s claims and argue against Libertarians that it is not possible to be truly morally responsible for one’s actions even with this idea of indeterminacy. Libertarians specifically believe that our free will allows us to have true moral responsibility. In order to fully understand Strawson’s views and the views of those that counter him, we must revisit what his basic argument is. As human beings, we make specific choices and carry out actions the way…

have all been raised to believe that we are free to make our own choices and create our own lives. We have all been told that we can do anything we want, and achieve anything at our own free will. But can we really? Are we all actually free? There are many views of what freedom is and how we achieve freedom, and I am going to argue that Ayer’s views of being free and not free are in fact correct. When talking about the philosophy of freedom and free will there are two ways the world can be.…

If we live in a world where free will existed we would always be morally responsible for our actions because we always have options to do otherwise, this is known as the principle of alternate possibilities. For now let us assume that we live in a determinist world where our life events are predetermined would we be responsible for our actions even though we have no control over them? It is very hard to imagine how someone could possibly be responsible for actions they had no control over but…

In the first chapter of God’s Many-Splendored Image, the theme of freedom is obvious because that is the title of the chapter. Being free implies that we are like God, and God does not have a limitation of freedom, so we don’t either. On the same note, mental/spiritual freedom turns out to be more valuable than the physical that most adore. Human freedom does allow us to choose, due to the fact that we are divine beings made in God’s image, and that we can determine the mental happenings in a…

It is mine and every American citizen’s right to speak freely without repercussions to limit our ability to express ourselves. Limiting our rights to free speech would require amending the First Amendment, and if government cannot do so, then they cannot look for ways to punish people because of what they say. Is it okay for me to punch a man in his face for calling me stupid? Then why is it okay to…

their attention of affecting our implicit processing while Wegner (2003) points out in his discourse on experiencing consciousness that it is possible that all decision making occurs unconsciously. Based on this information, choosing a brand is not a free decision, and in fact, it is a result of that brand being a lovemark. This conclusion might…

I have completely modified my beliefs in regards to how free I actually am. Growing up I was always taught how we all have free choices and how we must choose wisely. (I still agree with the choosing wisely part). But more importantly I now see how many of the choices that I made were not really free at all. You see, when one throws internal and external constraints into the equation it was clear that something I was not conscious…

constraints or threats of violence.” (Caplan, 2014) Today most of us do not believe in the tactics of free will. According to Meriam Webster dictionary free will is the power of making free choices that are unconstrained by external circumstances or by an agency such as fate of divine will. To those who know and understand the concept of free will still have a tendency to question if free will exist or not. Free will is the basis…

they exist outside the Matrix (Young, 2013). They do not know themselves well because they have been under the influence of the Matrix for so long, but they are fighting for the right to be free from illusion. Their sense of self seems to be connected to all of the other freed humans and their fight to remain free from the Matrix. There does not seem to be any distinct religion or ethnicity except for the religion of humanity. Men and women eat together, pray together, and live together like…
