Document Summary
Ut places response to the argument from conceptual independence: distinction between two kinds of identity statement, those that use the is of definition: known to be true in virtue of the meanings involved. *the concepts involved are logically dependent: those that use the is of composition: things that are known to be true in virtue of experience, heat is the kinetic energy of molecules. Cbp (contemporary brain process) is this sort of identity statement. *the concepts involved in these identity statements are logically independent* *fully causally determined- unavoidably forced to be the case by prior causes and conditions: the moral argument for human freedom: If human beings were not free then it would not make sense to hold them morally responsible for any of their actions. Causal ownership condition: the action/state of affairs must have been caused by the person to hold responsibility. *if there"s a causal story that can bring that action back to me i am guilty*
