What is the Problem of Freedom? Introduce the philosophical issue and then discuss all parts.
--Which of our behaviors /characteristics are (at least arguably) choices, which cannot be helped? How would fatalism, predestination, divine foreknowledge, and logical determinism rule out human freedom?
--Discuss the three positions (hard determinism; compatibilism or “soft determinism”; libertarianism) that are debated in the philosophy of action. Explain how a defender of each thesis might attempt to respond to the problem.
--Also discuss Indeterminism and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and how these contribute to the discussion of the problem of freedom.
