Free will

Libertarianism being free from anything except our free will is something that is huge to me. There are many pros and cons to this thought. Of course some people are against this philosophic thought. Free will should be brought to everyone, but in some ways it is not always something that is real. Free will is said to be you’re able to make your own decision, which I believe we do everyday, but I do believe god has a path for us which allows us to make the decisions we do. Everyday we are faced…

fate due to free will. On the other hand, Sophocles expresses that Oedipus was fated with pride that kept him blind from seeing the truth. Whereas, the director of the movie conveys that a person gets to make choices in life but at last life ends in death by using symbolism. Are people responsible for their actions? This question has puzzled humanity throughout history. Sophocles told the audience in the play that we cannot only blame fate for situations that occur in our life but free will.…

Fate, Destiny, and You: Assessment Paper In class we watched the film The Adjustment Bureau and in this film there was many instances that challenged free will with determinism. It’s very hard to not think about fate and destiny. There are many ways to answer what exactly our destiny is. God knows our future and it already exists, and there is nothing we can do to change that. This is the theological challenge to freedom, it means that if an absolutely perfect god knows the future, presumably…

conception of freedom is somewhat complicated to comprehend. Sartre believed that we are free because we are "other" to ourselves. In other words, because we exist we have the capability of holding ourselves accountable for all of our actions and life choices. He viewed freedom and the human consciousness as one entity and believed that because we have one, the other also exists. Because humans are conscious, they are free. It is hard for me to say that I completely agree or disagree as I…

In the school of thought of libertarianism also known as Indeterminism, libertarianism theory is based on that individuals do have a free choice in determining any decision they chose upon in their lives. Indeterminism holds the most convincing explanation that humans possess free will, as well as Existentialism also plays a convincing role in defining human free will. William James (Indeterminist) and Jean-Paul Sartre (Existentialist)…

The debate of Free Will v Determinism is one that has gone on for centuries, and shall continue to go on for many to come. There are many who believe that their view is the end all, be all, correct view to hold.

His argument is one that…

Rather, it is up to the practitioner to decide whether a hex is something they want to incorporate into their arsenal of worship and spells. In non religious works, such…

John Hick bases the argument concerning the problem of the evil by questioning the existence of an omnipresent and omnipotent God. Though he presents a positive objection to God, he argues that if God is all loving and the most powerful then he could not create evil on earth. With the ability and powers to eliminate evil on earth, evil still exists though God plans and intends no evil, therefore, there exist likeliness that Hick doubts Gods powers over creations or even Gods existence at all.…
