PHIL 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Compatibilism, Determinism
Document Summary
Freedom and determinism falls under the metaphysics category. Tendency to explain things in terms of causality, holding people responsible for their tendency to hold and not hold people morally responsible at all for their behavior. These 3 claims are puzzling because when go over all three collectively, they cannot all be true. Free books illustration=free books! (only 2 books left: critique or romance: i could have taken the critique instead . If i had chosen the critique, then i would have taken it. Determinists=people who think were like leaves & believe that we have only one option at every stop. They accept that rst claim that all behavior is causally determined. Accept claim 1 & claim 3; therefor they reject the 2nd claim=hard determinists. Accept claim 1 & 2; therefor rejecting claim 3=soft determinists (aka compatibilists)
