free market v. Command Economies Theoretical Economic Systems Basically‚ there are only three systems. At one extreme we have the free market economy where there is a very limited role for the government. At the other end we have the command economy‚ where the government takes virtually total control.

After Reading of The Illusion of Free Will Baron d’Holbach‚ a famous French Philosopher‚ was a steadfast determinist. In his argument‚ he claims that no physical object can have free will at any time‚ including humans. Because humans have both primary and secondary qualities‚ humans belong to physical objects and Holbach’s theory of causal determinism can apply to humans. He also states that the causal chains determine everyone’s will in both physical and moral worlds‚ which means that all people

The idea of free will is entirely dependent on one’s own beliefs. Since it is a mere idea that is not exactly obtainable with our human minds‚ there is no way to accurately prove that free will is either right or wrong. The human mind is not capable to fully grasp the idea of the limits of free will. Thus the idea of the limits of our free will is then established by one’s environment (Professor Lagerweij). For instance‚ Oedipus was limited in his free will by the oaths dictating his fate. Machiavelli

Provided that God does not exist‚ man must live his condemned life of freedom without "any values or commands that could legitimize [his] behavior." Furthermore‚ man has no means of "justification or cause;" man has no excuse for his actions‚ because he has chosen them on his own‚ out of his own freedom. Although freedom is traditionally characteristic of "good

Are We Free? Augustine said‚ “You see‚ then‚ I imagine‚ that it is in the power of our will to enjoy or to be without so great and so true a good”. Augustine clearly argues that man is free to either observe or disregard God’s law.
