Document Summary
January 16/18: the problem of free will. Freedom and responsibility: free to form desires, freedom to act on desires. Choice between apple pie and sugar pie: lean to one side or the other. You wonder what you ll end up doing its open to you to decide. After you make your choice, you think you could have made another. Having a free will sets us apart from animals, plants, machines, etc. We only ascribe blame to agents that have a will to ascribe freely. ; we don t blame a car for breaking down. We don t blame someone for doing something while they re hypnotized. If they are hypnotized they do not have the ability to form a desire and act upon it. People from a certain socioeconomic class are more likely to do a certain thing. The claim states they are determined to do what they do from antecedent conditions.
