The Debate Over Free Will

Abstract: 7 pages in length. As long as man has been putting forth contemplative concepts about his place in the scheme of reality, ultimately trying to figure out how and why he exists, the concepts of free will and determinism have long been at the forefront of debate. While some like Ayer believe man has the sole ability to direct his path throughout life without external infringement, others like Strawson argue how man is fully incapable of controlling how or where his life progresses and is, therefore, under the guidance of peripheral forces. When one looks more closely at the nature of these two arguments, it becomes easy to see how free will is most definitely applicable to human existence. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
