me? I don't understand, aren't there all sorts of different schools of philosophy and ways of looking at the world? Wouldn't studying philosophy help me find counter-examples that may expand my worldview? Compatibilism is probably my default position, but studying philosophy I may have that position challenged, isn't that the goal of studying any field of inquiry? To engage with new ideas?
- amichail 1y agoWhat compatiblism is saying would be ok in an academic context if they define a new term like consistency instead of hijack free will to mean something else entirely. But even then, consistency of behavior in a deterministic world would not lead to the possibility of moral responsibility unless you also hijack that term and give it a different meaning.
