Of Campbell and Free Will

Four questions:
  1. Is free will a precondition of moral responsibility?
  2. Agree or disagree: "Moral freedom, then, pertains to inner (non-observable) acts."
  3. Does free will have to be the result of a sole author?
  4. Is it free will if the author "could have acted otherwise"?

Welcome!

After you read your reading, type up a "prompt" or a discussion question, statement, or quote from the reading for the class to discuss. You can do this by logging in through my e-mail, and then click "new post" at the top of the page.

Then the rest of us can log into our blog accounts, from the AP Lit days, and comment on the "prompts".

Feel free to change the layout!

Enjoy!
