PHI 101/Lesson #3: What does it mean to be free? Nietzsche: Give me your explanation regarding, what does it mean to be free?

Now you are able to open your mind to understand “existentialism” which encourages action because it teaches you that “existence precedes essence” meaning, we are only

fate vs. free will, which is also largely consistent throughout Oedipus Rex. However, instead of exclusively exploring the involvement of both fate and free will in the human condition, Sophocles analyzes the limits of human free will and the consequences of ignoring or attempting to avoid fate. Throughout the play, we see both Oedipus and his parents constantly running from their fate. They make almost every possible move to avoid their inevitable fate. Through this presentation of free will, Sophocles

“Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt to you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.” – Jawaharlal Nehru. The world is split into three groups of people, those who believe in determinism, those who believe in free will, and those who believe in free will in respect to determinism.

Licon states that free-will is not an argument to the existence of God and evil. He introduces his thesis by naming all kinds of suffering-inducing situations and circumstances such as, famine, disease, rape, murder, earthquakes etc. and that if there is an all-powerful, all-knowing God who is perfectly benevolent (1) he would want to prevent all this suffering, but not all of these situations are human caused, Licon fails to comment on earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, the so called natural disasters

 The Iliad and the Hebrew bible go into the theme of free will, but in some ways they differ from each other. The Hebrew bible for example focuses on free will, because God has free will. This causes humans to have access to free will, because in the Hebrew bible’s creation story we are mad from the image of God (158-159). It is interesting though because although humans are granted free will in the Hebrew bible, God seems to interact not by force, but by leading humans to where he wants them to

live without doubt that no force is holding them back in any way, shape, or form. In some cases, the idea that people are free can be manipulated, as their perception of freedom may change to suit the likes of others with the ability of manipulation. In the novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley explores the concept of freedom and how people can be misled into believing they are free using certain tactics. These tactics include the use of technology to breach true emotions and feelings, the abolishment

As author Isaac Bashevis Singer once said, “We must believe in free will, we have no choice” (Brainy Quote). While many philosophers do not believe in free will, most, like Singer, acknowledge its necessity for moral accountability, or “the [status of] a moral agent [being] blameworthy or praiseworthy for some particular action” (Eshleman). However, Vonnegut illustrates his beliefs that people have the capacity to change their perceptions and are morally obligated to do so. In Kurt Vonnegut’s antiwar

Fate or Free Will? Destiny has been a subject of speculation since the beginning of time. Some believe fate determines life, whereas others believe in the freedom of choice.

People have free will [BS]. Men have no true meaning, true purpose, or true significance [Parallel]. Men will forever remain in their own hell knowing that they exist in a meaningless universe. To survive, men contain a single gift: their free will. Free will, however, creates evil, crime, and violence.

we do have free will, and Hard Determinism, which denies the freedom of the will and says that it is only an illusion. In a way, these two ideas are opposites but Ayer holds this view and it is known as Soft Determinism or Compatibilism. This view accepts the argument that we are determined (premise 1 from the argument on page 333) but rejects that determinism implies that we are not free to choose our actions (premise 2 from the argument on page 333). Ayer believes that we can make free will compatible

of if humans have free will or if our whole life is predestined by God is a question all humans have been asking forever. At some level, Christians know that God is in control of the future and he has a plan for every person, but it also seems like we have the ability to make our own choices. The bible has many passages that talk about free will and predestination that can help us try and make sense of the balance between humans' free will and God's predestination. Paul's writing on this topic in

Singer once said, “We must believe in free will, we have no choice” (Brainy Quote). While many philosophers do not believe in free will, most, like Singer, acknowledge that the concept is useful for moral accountability, or “the status of morally deserving praise, blame, reward, or punishment for an act or omission in accordance with one 's moral obligations,” in a functioning society (citation).

Anthony Burgess, the author of A Clockwork Orange, said “… by definition, a human is endowed with free will. He can use this to choose between good and evil. If he can only perform good or only perform evil, then he is a clockwork orange… it is as inhuman to be totally good as it is to be totally evil. The most important thing is moral choice” (Burgess, Introduction, page xiii). This theme is thoroughly explored during the novel, as well as during modern history. In A Clockwork Orange, Alex discovers
