Choose either Topic A<\/em> or Topic B<\/em>. To answer these topics completely, it takes a minimum of 2 pages – 8-10 paragraphs<\/em>. Use the topic questions and the scoring rubric to see if your draft responds fully to all parts of the question. A complete, thoughtful answer is more important than word count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topic A<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this essay you will address the controversy between free will and determinism. You will go deeper into the problem of determinism by choosing whether it is the predictability <\/em>or the unpredictability<\/em> of our actions that poses a bigger threat to free will. Using passages from the textbook, explain in detail what determinism is and why determinism threatens the idea of free will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now consider these two opposite points of view about our ability to predict behavior:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Everything you do is predictable<\/em><\/strong> to those who know you well. This predictability means your life is determined by choices beyond your control.\u2014Paraphrase from Vaughn, p.268<\/li>
  2. \u201cHe sat a long time and he thought about his life and how little of it he could have foreseen<\/em><\/strong> and he wondered for all his will<\/strong> and all his intent how much of it was his doing.\u201d\u2014Cormac Mc Carthy (reprinted in Vaughn, p.265)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Explain what these two points of view mean and then give your own reasoned opinion about which point of view is correct. Defend your answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Topic B<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Describe the theory of knowledge called skepticism. Consider the skeptic\u2019s charge that we can never <\/em>be confident about the reliability of our normal sources of knowledge (perceptions, memory, introspection, and reasoning.) Describe why and how, for each of the 4 sources mentioned, the source is unreliable. Use examples to show your understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If a source of knowledge is unreliable, it means these sources can trick us into believing falsehoods. Does it follow from the fact that we are sometimes mistaken<\/em> when we rely on these sources that we are always<\/em> mistaken? In other words, once we admit is possible that we are mistaken, does that mean that we need to admit that we might never <\/em>be correct? How would you respond to the skeptic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
