So this paper is about Free Will vs. Determinism
It would be perfect if you write the paper on the determinism side, cause i’m more on that side in my previous paper. I also add my paper on the determinism side so you can have an idea about what i’m into
So my paper is due on March 2, so you will have plenty of time to do it. But if you can finish it before 3-4 days it would be nice cause i have more time to add my idea into the paper
The requirement for the paper is below there.
Introduction to Philosophy Paper 1: Free Will vs. Determinism
We have read 2 authors that have taken a positive stand in the debate of Free Will vs. Determinism. Campbell argued for a position of libertarianism and D’Holbach argued for the position of determinism.
Your task: In 2-3 pages (11 pt font; Double Spaced) take a stand on this issue by attacking one of these authors.
Your job is to reveal some problem with the position one of these authors present, i.e. you are to argue against libertarianism or determinism, as they are presented by these authors. If this means you agree with the opposing author, then you may use them to bolster your position, but you need not if you disagree with both.
Things to remember:
-You can disagree with an argument, but agree with their conclusion.
-You need not endorse libertarianism or determinism to reveal a problem with one of the above authors.
-If you are unsympathetic with both positions, then you will likely disagree with some or all of the above authors.
-Keep things narrow and tempered. It is more feasible to show a flaw in a part of someone’s argument than to try and claim that one’s entire position is misguided.
You are giving your opinion, but not a mere opinion. You should be presenting your well-informed, well-supported, justified and intelligent opinion.
1. You must cite the original text and one of the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy articles.

Introduction:
-State the conflict between determinism and libertarianism.

State the position you intend to attack:
-Give a summary of the position that you disagree with. (Be sure to do this before attacking the position.)
Your critique/argument:
-Pick one or two specific things about the position of your opponent
-State how it is problematic
[Examples: Determinism is often critiqued on the basis that it has difficulty dealing with moral concepts and subjective attitudes (such as responsibility), which are central to our lives. Libertarians are often criticized for making actions look mysterious and incompatible with our modern scientific outlook.]
Conclusion:
-Restate your thesis and how you came to arrive at it.
