    Philosophy Freedom vs. Determinism Jean Paul Sarte‚ who is a libertarian‚ says that “Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself”. He is fully responsible for his existence. Sarte is saying that man is shaped and made up of what he has done and what he will do. Sarte’s stance is there is no determinism‚ man is free‚ man is freedom. For example‚ a coward is responsible for being a coward. It’s not because he’s made up physiologically to be a coward but he’s like that because he made

    Argument and Logic Vanessa Sumner PHI/105 Nancy Wack September 14‚ 2011 The excerpt I chose was “Free Will versus Determinism”‚ and I noticed from the beginning the piece was written with reasons to support the content.

    William James wrote‚ “Determinism leads us to call our judgments of regret wrong‚ because they are pessimistic in implying that what is impossible yet ought to be.” (1) I intend to make an argument against James‚ on the basis that determinism does not consent human beings to completely neglect moral responsibility. I shall first briefly define determinism. Determinism means that for every event that takes place‚ the preceding events are determined. Given prior events and the laws of nature‚ it

    Explain what freedom and physical determinism are and why they seem to conflict. How would you resolve this conflict? Give reasons for your answer. Physical determinism is believing in the fact that every event has a cause. (Theodore Sider‚ pg 113) And that a chain reaction of such would cause an inevitable event to occur. E.g. The invasion of Poland by Hitler in 1939. (Theodore Sider‚ pg 115) Freedom is the belief that you are able to act on your own free will irrespective of what event has occured

    The debate between free will vs determinism is important because it reflects on actions and intentions of humans‚ but free will brings up strong valid points supported by evidence. Free will can be simplified as a human does what they ultimately and truly want in their mind‚ through their own beliefs and character. Determinism is about having strong influences in an environment‚ that the decisions of individuals reflect off their unconscious mind. Determinism can influence decisions‚ but the final
