发帖数: 8336 | 1 Determinism, free will and compatibilism
by Tim Harding
The idea that the future is already determined is known in philosophy as
determinism. There are various definitions of determinism available; but in
this essay, I shall use the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy definition,
which is ‘the metaphysical thesis that the facts of the past, in
conjunction with the laws of nature, entail every truth about the future’ (
McKenna, 2009:1.3).
This idea presents a difficult problem for the concept of... 阅读全帖 |

http://www.trinity.edu/cbrown/intro/free_will.html
This is a quick look at issues concerning the nature of free agency. There
are three important questions about free will and determinism, but only one
of them is really a philosophical question. Ayer mentions all three
questions in his opening paragraph (Bailey, p. 558): "It is commonly assumed
that men are capable of acting freely, in the sense that is required to
make them morally responsible, and that human behavior ... 阅读全帖 |

Each note of a scale(or mode) generates a chord. These chords,
