Shakespeare believed that life was a combination of fate and freewill‚ he presents this idea to the audience through different events that occur throughout the play‚ events such as the Feast at the Lupercal‚ the Soothsayers prophecy‚ the animal sacrifice‚ Calpurnias dream and the presence of animals and Caesars ghost. These events build dramatic tension throughout the play‚ illustrating the struggle of fate versus freewill. The Romans believed in superstition and that people lived the life

Necessity.” In the following paper I will talk about A.J. Ayer’s “Freedom and Necessity‚” and I will explain the dilemma of determinism and Ayer’s compatibilist solution to it. I will explain some of the examples Ayer uses to explain the difference between cause and being constrained‚ and how both affect one’s free will. I will also discuss on why Ayer’s compatibilism solution to the dilemma is the best solution so far. According to A.J. Ayer‚ the problem of free will is the result from the

there are various notions of freewill and determinism‚ most evidently solidified in No Country for Old Men is the theory of compatibilism.

Hard Incompatabilism Through Perebooms arguments we see how he argues against compatibilism‚ and how he presents to us four cases that will support his rejection against compatibilism. We will see how he delivers a way in which the agents will not be morally responsible for their actions‚ and succeeds in planting that seed of dought in us. Summary: In Pereboom’s argument‚ he discusses that it is because casual determinism is true that we lack this sort of free will that is required for moral responsibility

Necessity‚ which was written to provide Ayer’s argument on how moral responsibility is determined and more importantly the larger concept argument for the true nature of freedom. In this paper‚ Ayer makes the case that free will is compatible with determinism. Address Ayer’s responses few objections and the objection that Galen Strawson may have had with Ayer. I don’t find Ayer’s response to the objections convincing‚ so I present a better example and response before agreeing with his compatibilist conclusion
