Document Summary
= we cannot be truly or ultimately be responsible for our own actions: nothing can be causa sui: cause of itself, to be truly morally responsible one must be causa sui, therefore nothing can be truly morally responsible. = philosophical theory that all events, including moral choices, are completely determined by previously existing causes. = this argument precludes free will as it entails that humans cannot act otherwise than they do. = believe that one can be a free and morally responsible agent even if determinism is true.
