Compatibilism: An Argument for Moral Freedom and Free Will Defense Thesis: This free will/moral freedom argument will identify the validity of bodily nervous system sensations and external biological factors that cause pain and suffering through the perspective of compatibilism. The First Premise: All distinct sensations that feel a certain way are real and not merely the absence of something else. This argument for compatibilism defines the combined effect of the physical human body interacting
Compatibilism and incompatibilism are two sides of the same coin-determinism. Determinism is defined as the belief that all events of the universe are a result of events that have occurred in the past and are governed by the laws of nature. Determinists believe that all outcomes are fixed and guided by these two conditions (Kane 5). However, compatibilist and incompatibilist conceptions of determined, undetermined and free willed actions differ greatly. Incompatibilists believe that events that are
Determinism is the philosophical idea that “every event or state of affairs, including every human decision and action, is the inevitable and necessary consequence of antecedent states of affairs” (“Determinism”, Information Philosopher). Under the umbrella of determinism there are two different schools of thought known as compatibilism and incompatibilism. The basic ideology for compatibilism is that free will and determinism can coexist; while the basic ideology for incompatibilism states that
Counterarguments to Skinner’s approach According to Fromm (1941) free will can be defined as the idea that human beings can decide freely how best they want to act and behaves suggesting that we are more self-determined. However, thus definition is supported by the humanistic approach to free will.

Antagonistic to determinism is the concept of free will. Will may be defined as “the ability to control one’s thoughts and actions in order to achieve what one wants to do.” It is the capacity to choose from two or more alternatives of a physical or mental action. When such will is neither controlled by external and internal sources or forces, it is called the Free Will. Free will is sometimes nothing but ‘the power to control your own decision without being controlled by God or fate.’ Encyclopedia
previous time of his life he would need to have been in control of his motive and reasons at still an earlier time, and so on ad infinitum. Kane solves this problem of infinite regress by reaffirming the idea that free will in not consistent with determinism and therefor not every action has to have sufficient causes and reasons for occurring. In an in-deterministic world it is the case that some actions can be voluntary or at least not determined by past causes, and this is all it takes to be ultimately
Nature and Nurture are two different things but have a connection. Nature is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors. Nature is the influence of external factors, such as family, schools, health, culture and society.
