that there are many ways the future may pass. Doug believes that Judy is seeing one true future, the one he sees, amidst many false ones. He can be called a determinist, one who believes that at any given moment there is exactly one physical future. Free will seems to be a mutually exclusive concept, which Judy believes in. Throughout their relationship they confront these clashing viewpoints. Judy believes that there is a chance that their relationship may end in six months and three days,…

where an individual has presumably no other choice; people tend to believe if for some reason you have no choice but to do something it is inherently not your fault. An individual can be held morally responsible even in the cases where they lack the free will to choose as Frankfurt contended. Throughout this paper, I will discuss points supporting my thesis, reasons to believe it is valid, examples supporting my opinion, and reasons I believe this is true. Human beings are morally responsible…

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…

beings to make critical decisions regarding our future, and what we choose to pursue. These choices can make or break a situation, because who knows what outcomes can be created out of the decisions that we make. This is determined by our usage of free will, majority of the time correlating with fate itself. Depending on our decisions can await a new destiny that we can live towards. And it was because of these causes that led to a young comic…

Before you can understand what Jean-Paul Sartre refers to as despair, anguish and abandonment, moreover condemned to be free, you should first understand the meaning of subjectivity. Furthermore, you need to understand that individual feelings (sadness, happiness, etc.) are not the objective in Sartre’s reason. Hence, you seem aware of the concept of existence precedes essence, however you abandon the notion of taking responsibilities of your choices by choosing ignorance; in turn, you…

In the free will vs. determinism debate, hard determinism seems to be a dominant belief. Hard determinism is the belief that free will and determinism are incompatible ideas, and that it is not possible to truly believe in both without being logically inconsistent. Under hard determinism, there is a view called hard incompatibilism which Smilansky subscribes to. Hard incompatibilism is the belief that determinism is incompatible with both human freedom and moral responsibility. Saul Smilansky…

discover his truths, once the fate he was trying to avoid occurs. Do we have free will in our actions or is everything fate. Maybe, were just blinded by our reality, the question that has been circling through the minds of mankind for centuries. If we truly were to accept the idea of fate, we would also have to accept that person’s actions are not of their fault. Fate, might not be as inevitable as some want it to be. In the play, Oedipus, written by Sophocles, one could ask the question of…

Fate vs. Free Will Many believe that fate is what will control a person’s destiny and once it is set up for them, there’s no changing it, but others believe that free will has also a big part to rewrite a person's destiny. Oedipus was born with a terrible fate that wasn’t his fault or his choosing. All he could do was try to change his destiny or help it come true. Oedipus had no idea what actions he took would be the right one. The only thing he could do was try and choose a path that may or…

equate to the idea that we have free will. Well, I believe this is quite simple. If there is probability then how can a prediction be right 100 percent of the time? thus if there is no set outcome then this would prove determinism wrong, thus leading to the fact that from this free will would exist. Thus my conclusion on determinism is that it is wrong in assuming that there…

nothing but a collection of organized chemicals that run physical brains in a deterministic machine-like way” (The Grand Design, 31; The Selfish Gene, 19). Both statements come from two of the greatest minds in science and entirely reject the idea of free will. Dawkins and Hawking, along with many other modern day scientists, assume humans do not make choices on their own capacity but rather choices that are predetermined by many different circumstances (Nichols). Most people tend to disagree…
