Evangelist PHL-150 24 April 2015 Free will Free will is the ability to act using one’s own discretion. Since the beginnings of philosophical thought, philosophers have had consistent debate and discussion as to whether or not we have free will, and if we do, to what extent. Free will is a characteristic that most assume to be an innate trait of all humans. However, after further reflection of the idea, it is difficult to decipher what decisions are made based upon free will, and which are…

The theory of constrained choice is a model that shows how different levels of social organizations can influence the lives of people, and how they can lead to unfavorable health consequences in men and women. There are five levels that are associated with the theory of constrained choice: individual, family, workplace, community, and the nation. What happens at these levels, and the limitations they impose on individuals, can cause people to be restricted in the choices they can make and…

Humanity perpetually attempts to fabricate an abstract concept of freewill—in which man governs his fate through his choice of conduct. Perhaps, however, humanity has deceived itself to obscure the infallible construct that governs mundane existence. Perhaps the confines of fate bind humanity to inevitable tragedy, and mankind is subject to the inexorability of the unperceivable. In Sophocles’ play, Oedipus the King, prophet and oracle of Apollo, Tiresias, embodies a pivotal role as both a…

Although we are not responsible for our existence, it lies independent to whether we are responsible of our actions. If we have free will, then we are morally responsible for our actions because we decided make those decisions that lead to those actions. In this case, what I mean by the term “free will” is the ability for the person to act and chose freely with no limitations giving the person a power of choice. Therefore, if we have the power to act and chose…

have argued the assumption whether people have their own freedom to make decisions. In effect, Ayer suggested that people don’t have free will when influenced by constraints. In addition, Ayer defines free will as being able to choose otherwise. However, people don’t have freedom if there threaten or an addict. I agree with Ayer’s claim that people don’t have free will when under constraints which cause people to make decisions. In the first place, some constraints are threats that…

Homesick Love “Fate and free will are equally powerful forces, but I consider free will to be more important, as it is your free will that determines your fate.” - Vyasa.

In the play Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, free will is expressed clearly through the hard choices, and situations the characters decide to put themselves in. This is evident when Romeo and Juliet got…

the “Problem of Evil,” essentially why, God, in all his capacity, would allow for evil. Most of the theodicy developed to explain this problem center on the core ideas of Augustine and Ireanean theodicy which apply the ideas of “Soul-making”, and “Free-Will”. J.L. Mackie examines the Problem of Evil, while John Hick and other philosophers propose adequate solutions to the dilemma. This term paper will review the reasoning behind the existence of evil and God simultaneously, and apply some of…

One of Rabbi Sacks’ many points on free will is how it is directly correlated with how moral a person is. As an individual begins to act immoral, he risks embarking on a spiral away from free will. An example of this, as Rabbi Sacks points out is addiction. “The first few times you smoke a cigarette or drink alcohol or take drugs, you do so freely. You know the risks but you ignore them. As time goes on, your dependency increases until the craving is so intense that you are almost powerless to…

What is the source or cause of evil in human behavior? It is the way one was raised/taught. A person cannot do evil if he doesn’t know what evil is. Good people can do bad things, depending on the environment they are in. An outside force is the cause of evil. If a person is starving, he can still show empathy to another. Lord Of The Flies can prove Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs wrong. Tabula Rasa, the idea that everyone is born with a blank slate. That slate gets written on by the events and…
