world have some sort of consensus to what free will is and that is the ability to make choices. To my beliefs, free will is the sense in which individuals can consciously think to themselves on what they want to do, whether that is getting the fish instead of chicken for dinner or deciding to run for president. Even though we have the option to always make the right decision, we often make the wrong one, this agrees on the principle that we do not have free will, because if we did have ability…

“Determinisms Theory or Doctrine that acts of the will, occurrences in nature, or social or psychological phenomena are causally determined by preceding events or natural laws”. I can understand with agreeing with that the free will and determinism are similarly compatibilities, even when we take free will to require the ability to do otherwise and even when we interpret that ability, as the possibility of doing otherwise. However, in times we are not able to control our actions depending on the…

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…

of the character’s good intentions. Macbeth, from Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth, is, without a doubt, one of the most prevalent tragic heroes throughout all works of literature. Macbeth is a tragic hero as he possesses noble stature, a tragic flaw, free choice, an increased awareness of his downfall, and a punishment that exceeds his crimes, all while producing a catharsis in the audience. Macbeth fits the role of a tragic hero in the fact that he has noble stature. Macbeth begins the story a…

The essay regarding evil and its relation to free will entitled “The Argument from Evil” by Peter Van Inwagen proposes many questions and contradictions. All of which relate back to one principle idea—the problem of evil and how to solve it. At the end of his compilation of ideas, propositions and examples, Van Inwagen poses a slew of questions for his readers to ponder and attempt to answer. Peter Van Inwagen is adamant upon insisting that there both is and is not a God. He proposes this as he…

discovers that not everyone believes as he is taught to believe. This discovery prompts him to begin to adjust his belief system and finally his character. Of course it is possible that both forces can play equal parts in defining character, but anywhere free thought is allowed, it make sense that choice would be the prevailing factor in character development. And so, each person decides his or her own behavior and his or her…

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…

Marley Lyster PHIL 1000 Assignment 2 Prompt 2 Susan Wolf’s compatibilist predisposition evaluates moral responsibility with her “Deep Self View.” Not only does she argue that events can be fully fixed and determined and one can have some freedom in action, but also that the agent only has moral responsibility in these actions if they are in control of their deepest desires (Wolf, 460). After presenting this view, Wolf uses her example of JoJo to demonstrate a hole in her own Deep Self View that…
