Abortion: Applying Rene Descartes And David Hume's Philosophies
(5 Pages, 59.75 USD)
|
|
5 pages in length. David Hume and Rene Descartes viewed the world from two completely diverse perspectives. When applying their respective philosophies to the subject of abortion, the student will readily understand just how divergent their viewpoints truly were. In effect, Hume supported the concept of determinism as opposed to Descartes' endorsement of free will. In establishing the essence of these principles, it is essential for the student to understand the difference between the two representations. When one is cast forward by way of determinism, it is as though one has absolutely no control over the various and sundry occurrences that take place during one's life. Free will, on the other hand, speaks to the concept of having full authority over one's aspirations and ultimate direction, reflecting the exact opposite of those ruled by determinism.

Free Will, Determinism And Moral Responsibility
(7 Pages, 83.65 USD)
|
|
This 7 page paper addresses the very complex question of: Can free will and moral responsibility coexist? Calling on such historical figures as Kant, Hobbes, Tolstoy, Spinoza, Hume and Locke, the writer define freedom of action and describes and defines the different models of determinism. The essay suggests that free will and moral responsibility can coexist even within one model of determinism. The writer also points out that Hume was a compatibilist, which follows the belief that there is no inconsistency between thinking that our actions are causally determined by factors outside our control, and thinking that we can be morally responsible and have free will.

B.F. Skinner: Hard Determinism
(5 Pages, 59.75 USD)
|
|
5 pages in length. B.F. Skinner sent a wave of intrigue and contempt through the scientific and psychological fields when he staunchly asserted that both man and animal are unequivocally bound by the tenets of determinism; his ability to simultaneously evoke such fervent passion on each side of the hotly debated issue speaks to man's inability to establish a definitive understanding of his own behavioral motivation. The extent to which Skinner's theory of hard determinism has helped contemporary society better comprehend the importance of consistent behavioral patterns and the manner by which they bring about expected response is both grand and far-reaching; his experiments to prove this theory – despite the inherent criticism that accompanies any unpopular idea – served to support its validity.

Arguments Supporting Compatibilism
(5 Pages, 59.75 USD)
|
|
Of the three common positions in respect to the free will/determinism debate, compatibilism has been the least adequately argued perspective, but is the one that has the greatest potential for defining the underlying reasons behind man's actions and man's conceptual view of morality. This paper will present the argument that free will and determinism are not mutually exclusive and that it is possible to define man's actions relative to the concept of compatibilism. This 5 page paper provides an overview of the issue presented and relates it to the current literature. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Free Will In Society
(3 Pages, 35.85 USD)
|
|
The argument surrounding free will and determinism is as old as intellectual discourse, however, the implications of such a discussion within the confines of society brings the argument into the realm of productive citizenship. This 3 page paper argues that the extent of social determinism is limited by the individual's responsibility to just action based on articles by Martin Luther King, Jr. and Walter Stace in the book, Current Issues And Enduring Questions by Sylvan Barnet and Hugo Bedau. No additional sources are listed.
