Document Summary
Question two: write a dialogue between silenus, the satyr; hench; and michael gorr, in which each interlocutor explains his/her respective position vis- -vis determinism, libertarianism, and compatibilism. Remember that at the beginning of the story, hench agrees with silenus" position even though. Hench himself was not a determinist but rather a libertarian. However, at the end of the story he obviously changed his mind. Identify yourself as one of the three interlocutors. In other words, let one of the three speak for you depending on which view you think is best. For example, if you are persuaded by the satyr"s arguments, then identify yourself as the satyr. Hench(me): i can not believe the things you have done, they are almost unimaginable. Satyr: what can i say, you"re the one who created me. Hench: i admit that i created you, but i no longer feel the same level of responsibility that i did before your actions.
