Causality

of thought which is responsible for this argument, is this: we make our choices based on our character (which we do not determine), and our choices determine our actions. The next argument which Ayer states, is that freedom is not a denial of causality, but of constraint. There are two instances of constraint which take away our freedom, and our responsibility. The first is when we are compelled by another person to do something. An example that Ayer entertains is this: if someone is holding

Reconciling the Free Will and Determinism of Ayer and Holbach In respect to the arguments of Ayer and Holbach, the dilemma of determinism and its compatibility with that of free will are found to be in question. Holbach makes a strong case for hard determinism in his System of Nature, in which he defines determinism to be a doctrine that everything and most importantly human actions are caused, and it follows that we are not free and therefore haven’t any moral responsibility in regard

Aristotle is considered by many to be one of the most influential philosophers in history. As a student of Plato, he built on his mentor’s metaphysical teachings of things like The Theory of Forms and his views on the soul. However, he also challenged them, introducing his own metaphysical ideas such as act and potency, hylemorphism, and the four causes. He used these ideas to explain his account of the soul and the immateriality of intellect. Prior to Aristotle, philosophers like Parmenides and

By the end of section II of The Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant has established that, if there were a supreme moral law, it would look like the categorical imperative. His task in the final section of the Groundwork is to show that there does in fact exist such a moral law by proving that we have free wills, and secondary to this, he wants to show why we actually take an interest in morality. This paper will provide an account and evaluate the success of Kant’s argument in this final

In Physics II, Aristotle speaks to the four causes that can explain any changes in the science of nature. First, he says there is a cause that explains what something is made of, such as the bronze of a statue (194b25). Second, there is a cause which is related to the form to which a thing is made into (194b27). Third, there is the original, primary source of change. It is what makes of what is made and what causes change of what is changed, like that of the father to a child (194b30). Lastly, there

St Thomas Aquinas developed Natural Law theory from Aristotle and the Stoics in the 13th century. Natural Law is an absolutist and deontological theory. To believe and use Natural Law theory, one has to believe in God because Natural Law believes there is one Natural Law which has been issued by God. This means that what is wrong in one situation is wrong in ever situation and to determine what is right and wrong we look at the action itself, not the consequences. There is emphasis on innate human
