Shouldn’t paraphrase other writers
Free Will
In a clear, careful, sharply focused essay:
explain what determinism claims
everything is predetermined: laws of physics say that if x happens then y has to happen
then explain the additional claims made by “hard determinism”.
there is no free will AT ALL
Many philosophers have thought that hard determinism is very disturbing; explain why.
we cannot hold people accountable for immoral things (when the universe set in, laws of physics set the only outcome)
“Soft determinists” think that free will is possible even in a completely deterministic universe. Give a clear, careful, sharply focused explanation of what you take to be the best version of soft determinism.
Do you think that version of soft determinism is convincing? Explain why, or why not.
Explain “scientific libertarianism”.
Do you think that scientific libertarianism is less disturbing than determinism? Explain why, or why not.
