PHIL 2620 Lecture : 141111.doc
Document Summary
Berkeley may be included in the essay topics once again. The locke and leibniz topics are not an issue for free will and determinism. Commonly we talk about ourselves and others in dualistic terms. It"s only when we question it we become much more aware of what we"re talking about and our ignorance therein. The whole issue around free will is moral responsibility. It"s only when we are free to chose that moral praise or blame makes any sense. A: part of the issue of paterno was that he did what was required by law. Pennsylvania law requires organizations to report abuse to their supervisors. He did do that, the issue was that there was a moral standard that goes above the law. Everybody did what they were supposed to do. People were constrained by the commitment by football which created millions of dollars. We want to hold people to higher standards.
