assignment to be emailed by Monday evening Sept 1st

 Determined?
FREE YES
FREE NO
YES - determined
COMPATIBILISM
HARD determinism
NO - not determined
Libertarianism
Hard indeterminism:  chance only
è distinguish Freedom from Liberty ... then ask:    Are we free or determined
     Paper has four points:
·          1.  present your "argument" - read the two handouts for some help
·         2.  find 3 moments
·      2 moments in films where (seeming?) choice events arise (could be your own film)
·       1 moment in life (date/no date, fight/no fight, procrastinate/no procrastinate, give another what she wants/withhold, engage in bad habit/refrain)
·       set up the 3 moments a little and argue for it being free or not free, determined or not determined
·          3.  How do these examples reflect upon your argument?  did U pick these 3 because they illustrate your point or did U pick them because you love the moments and now you adjust your point

·         4.  How does morality and judgment fit into the picture?
