In the hard determinist’s judgement, this feeling of freedom is an illusion. (Pereboom, 2009:324). Another argument against hard determinism would be if it were true we could not be accounted for when it comes to our actions, therefore we could do a morally wrong act and if it was determined then we would could not to blame, we did not have the free will to do that act it was determined to be done anyway. Also if we do a morally good act should we be praised for this? Hard determinists would say that it was not our free will that chose us to do this good act we were determined to do it anyway.
A diverse society has many different cultures. Diverse can also mean not per taining to the norm. Equality. Equality is that have equal rights with everyone in society regardless of age sex religion culture religious belief. Inclusion.
The right to equality: philosophical genesis and implementation problems. Introduction : In common language, freedom is often defined as " do what you want " This leads us to believe that freedom must be studied in two forms . Freedom as freedom of action and freedom as the freedom of desire. We will therefore show the different conceptual approaches of freedom: formal freedom , real freedom and moral freedom, which belong to two ways of conceiving freedom either empirical or metaphysical. Equality is a concept quite equivocal, form the Latin aequalitas "equal" , it can be characterized as what is equivalent , which is no different either quantitatively or qualitatively , we need to distinguish equal rights and social equality.
I disagree with certain idea and issue Rene Descartes argues about in his passage. His beliefs of skepticism at points were valid at times but every human has a right to believe, do anything or create what they want to believe in their mind. To make it feel real is up to the person because we control our emotions which control our mind set to think if we are being trick to having ten fingers or to believe there is no god that created this world we call earth. The scope of knowledge in this reading "Meditations on first philosophy" by Rene Descartes is the truth of doubt. Doubt causes people to believe that you do not know something when you actually do.
To me freedom is the right to make your own choices, in the abcence of pressure and enforcement from others. There are various forms of freedom which I shall categorise under personal freedom,
He argued that they were part of the structure of the mind and that we would have no experience without them. He says that sight, smell, touch etc. are all meaningless to us unless they are brought under these innate concepts. Kant believes in a world beyond our conceptual scheme called the noumenal world which he says we can know nothing about and it is impossible to discuss. People have criticized this view by say that how can Kant know that the Noumenal world exists if there is no evidence of it.
If an individual holds to the belief that there are gods and demons that create events to guide human actions than they have a polytheism worldview. Scripture states that God created the entire world and that His eternal power and divine nature, although invisible, can be understood and seen throughout creation (Rom. 1:20, KJV). Humankind has made a choice to ignore His presence by worshipping themselves and false idols seeking their own pleasures foolishly. It is because of this foolishness that God released humanity to their selfish lust (Rom.
Destiny is defined as an event or course of events that will inevitably happen in the future. Although there is a debate on whether destiny exists in real life, the gods in The Odyssey influence the humans’ destinies. Along with them, certain prophets can tell the future as if it is indeed inevitable. A reader would think that the future is inevitable in The Odyssey because everything predicted comes true. In real life I believe that the future is not set and only God knows what is going to happen.
This principle is basically asserting that fundamental liberties come first over anything concerning justice. Every person is entitled to equal basic liberties that should be exercised. These liberties include: political liberty (right to vote, public office, etc. ), freedom of speech and assembly, the liberty of conscience, freedom of thought, freedom to hold and own property, and freedom from arbitrary or unjust arrests. To allow human beings to be human, meaning the capability of humans to choose what they do and do not do and strive for whatever personal endeavors they aspire for, necessitates that the fundamental liberties be protected and held equal.
The first one is claiming that every single action is caused by a chain of events, therefore there is no free will at all, just events caused by a precedent one and causing another one to happen. This is then considered to be an “incompatibilist” point of view, because it considers the existence of free will incompatible with the precedent causal determinism. Another “incompatibilist” point of view is the “libertarianism” one, which affirms that there is no such thing as a causal determinism, but everything is just based upon free will. The last current of thought is the “soft determinism”, which claims that even though there is a chain of events, this doesn’t deny free will. To support this theory, there is Saint Augustine’s idea that even thought the result of an action is fixed, this can still be guided by free will; William James is then proposing that our actions are not completely determined.
