Strawson's Impossiibility

Various sections compose Strawson’s article “The Impossibility of Moral Responsibility”. However, in Section V, Strawson raises the argument where he states that no one can be truly morally responsible for his or her actions. In order to provide evidence to his conclusion, he provides a set of premises. Premise 1 states that all actions performed are based on your character, personality, and/or motivational structure (CPM). Premise 2 states that in order to be truly morally responsible for one’s actions, one must be truly responsible for one’s CPM. Lastly, premise 3 states that no one can be truly responsible for one’s CPM. In this paper, I will express my arguments against the premises previously mentioned. Also, I will argue that humans
For example, someone who is Autistic will not have the ability to think by him or herself. In that specific case, one is not responsible of the deeds performed. This is simply due to the reason that Autistic people do not have the ability to think and process ideas the same way “regular” people to. Other than being or suffering from diseases, one should have free will to decide what to do or how to react. This, although being a very vague idea, settles the point in which a person and a brain have the option to make decision free from factors such as CPM. I believe that we, as humans, are aware of our options, but we act according to what we think is convenient to us. Free will is what influences what actions we do or do not do. To me, CPM refers to an idea that avoids free will and humans to function as a thinking brain. This basically makes me think our brain function as if it was a robot. In my opinion, we have feelings, we can think, we process ideas, we have learned and evolved to act in the way that we think is more plausible. Similarly, I refuse to agree with Premise 3. Each individual chooses a set of CPM. The reason why I believe this comes to be about is because, as I have already stated before, we decide our personalities, tastes, and who we are. I believe that you are not given a CPM.
I believe that ones; personality and character are constantly developing. This is due to the fact that we are constantly learning something about ourselves. For example, a person may declare a major, but it does not necessarily mean that it is exactly what they want to do. In fact, there have been many cases in which a person changes his or her major a few semesters before graduation. In my opinion, human brains are always subject to changing and discovering new things that will then shape and reshape ones’ personality. I do not agree with the Compatibilist idea because it simply does not make sense to me. Instead, I do believe that as the independent-self response states, oneself is independent of one’s CPM. Strawson refers to this as the idea in which the power of decision is independent of one’s CPM, which is exactly what I argued throughout the
