Ethical Considerations in the Free Will Debate

Book Summary

   by:AcaDemon    
This paper addresses the fundamental problems of the free will/ determinism debate, a perennial topic in philosophy. The first part introduces the basic principles of the debate and the postulates of alternative possibilities, with their attendant implications. The writings of G. E. Moore are discussed in conjunction with the responses of Peter Von Inwagen and other meta physicians of the early 20 Th century. The second part continues the debate by examining the putative solutions forwarded in the late 20th century by Harry Frankfurt, and attempts a series of defenses against the Frankfurt Theorem.
