New me...: determinism
http://determinism.livejournal.com/16663.html
I believe determinism is a necessary consequence of causality. Free will seems to be a contradiction in terms. Will is a determined quality, the factor involving me and who I am, my preferences and outlook- all which come from my collected experience, filtered through my genetic makeup. Free seems to demand that something outside of me makes my choices, which means it wouldn't be my will at all. Otherwise, I have to accept that some part of my being is acausal, which is not possible. Post a new comment.

soft determinism: thoughts? suggestions?: determinism
http://determinism.livejournal.com/17262.html
I'm not well read on soft determinism so could someone point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a soft determinist view that still defines free will as "ability to do otherwise" and argues that it coexists with determinism. Also, could someone please suggest for me readings that criticise Hume's view on soft determinism? A very confused first year form the University of Sydney). Post a new comment.

Why is moral responsibility a problem?: determinism
http://determinism.livejournal.com/16116.html
The Algernon Project (. Why is moral responsibility a problem? Is it possible that blame and praise are (often? Could it be that survival mechanisms are not so easily dispensed with? Could it be that I am a "modular" being, an aggregate of automatons? And is it possible that one "part of me", one "automaton", could logically deduce the "truth" of determinism, while another "part of me" could not (could not feel it, could not grok it, could not operate under that assumption? And if that part of me was also.

DiY Purpose?: determinism
http://determinism.livejournal.com/16129.html
The Algernon Project (. Questions for those (the straw men? Who say something like, Life has no intrinsic purpose, so I will make/decide my own. Has anyone ever chosen? Anyone made their purpose? If so, may I ask what it is? Is it a constant? Or does it change with each new impulse? Do you/did you) decide? Do you think the universe ulimately "chooses" for you? If so, what would that imply? I am genuinely curious. I used to say it myself.but being a determinist (for all intents and purposes.

You = Closed System?: determinism
http://determinism.livejournal.com/16434.html
The Algernon Project (. You = Closed System? These questions seem absurd for me to ask, but I am compelled. I guess this is for the non-determinists out there (if there be such):. Does anyone think that any aspect of their self (or anything related to the self) is a truly closed system. Do you think there is any "part" of your self that does not change? Do you think there is any "read-only" part, any part that produces output but accepts no input of any kind? Post a new comment. Post a new comment.
