PHIL 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Determinism
Document Summary
Humans are just one part of this deterministic system. Humans are not an exception in the universe! And we are determined in many ways! Every event, without exception, is causally determined by prior events. Therefore, human thoughts, choices, and actions are, without exception, causally determined by prior events. Libertarian objection when i make a choice, i could always have chosen differently. Determinist response - i could have chosen differently only means i could have chosen differently if my psychological states had been different . And psychological states would only be different if oher prior causal factors were different.
