Free Will and Determinism
- Caveat: Determinism/Indeterminism are not actually positions in the free will argument
- Theological determinism: Existence of a God who controls our every movement (Problem: If God controls our every movement, then He cannot punish us for what he determined for us to do.)
- Biological determinism: Genetic programming
- Environmental determinism: Frankenstein’s creature’s argument. He is what he is because the environment made him so; therefore his actions are controlled by his environment and not by his free will, so to speak.
- In that case, is the creature vindicated?
