Thread: Free Will vs Hard Determinism

I'm a Kantian.

You?

Im an Addams my good man.

Ok I just looked it up cause I had no idea.

Got to the part where Kant recons what you act on if you had the right good intentions to begin with, then you were just whatever the outcome.



People join up in different forces around the globe for what they believe are good intentions and yet others more innocent than them can fall at the cost of those original intentions.

I have issue with the continuation of action or non action that effects others unjustly, being continually self justified by the original good intention which then turns out to be false or a half truth in the circumstances.

An apparition, a spook, a figment of your imagination.

I remember debating this topic in 1984 after I had taken my first philosophy course at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Do we really have free will. It is very humiliating to think that we do not have free will. Also some people will look at that as a cop out in order for us not to take responsibility for our actions.however there's a really good case to be made for the fact that this physical world is made up of positively and negatively charged sub atomic particles. Our brains and the neural connections within them are made of that very same stuff. It could very well be that we have no control over sub atomic activity.

I hope this answers your question....

love that song I love that song now take that picture out of your damn signature

I like Kant, he wasn't a cunt

I think we do have free will but are a product of the environment which influences our will as well as a bit of genetics which also impacts on us.

So now we're on a nature vs nurture debate?
