Free Will versus Determinism

Abstract: 5 pages. Critics have long questioned the theory of free will, arguing that it is difficult to realistically determine if people exhibit certain behaviors out of fear of consequence or because they have the power to take control of their own lives. On the other hand, determinism contends that all of our acts are pre-determined. This paper discusses both sides of these philosophical questions in view of the books Free Will by Gary Watson and Essays on Actions and Events by Donald Davidson. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
