Freedom and responsibility
INTRODUCTION AND INDEX
In this paper I have discussed the free will of human mind and their freedom in choice of action. It is said that we are responsible for our actions that we do out of our free will, thus I have discussed freedom of human mind and the responsibility that comes to us with the freedom of will. There are some doctrines in philosophy that opposes free will saying that all our actions are dependent on certain predetermined causes and thus no human is free to exercise his free will. I have written some points in favour and in against of the responsibility factor that is attached to free will and then I have also pointed out with the help of certain readings the existence and non existence of free will in this paper by my own understanding after reading few articles and essays on Freedom and Responsibility. I have also highlighted the conditions in which a person is held to be responsible in which he should be not. The idea of Freedom and Responsibility itself states that Human beings have free will, that is, distinctive causal powers or a special metaphysical status, that separate them from everything else in the universe. They can act on the basis of reason(s). They have a certain set of moral or proto-moral feelings. They are the only rational beings in the universe hence with the free will comes to them the Responsibility, moral responsibility of their actions and decisions. Responsibility has also been classified in two different types. And the conclusion which gives a brief summary of what has already been mentioned in the body of the paper.
