| Summary | "Determinism or Free-Will?" by Chapman Cohen is a philosophical exploration written in the early 20th century. This work critically analyzes the longstanding debate between determinism—the view that all events, including human actions, are ultimately determined by causality—and the concept of free will, which posits that individuals have the power to make choices. The book appears to cater to those who want an accessible engagement with these complex ideas without the obscurities often associated with academic philosophy. At the start of the text, Cohen presents his rationale for revisiting the topic of free will in contemporary language, acknowledging a variety of historical arguments while emphasizing the need for clarity in philosophical discussions. He sets the stage for examining the core conflict between determinists, who assert that all human behavior is predictable given enough knowledge of external forces, and advocates of free will, who argue for the existence of autonomous decision-making. Cohen dives into the intricacies of consciousness, choice, and the morality of actions, laying out the foundational issues that will guide his analysis throughout the book. This opening serves to frame the reader's understanding of the philosophical stakes involved in the debate. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
