Part 1: Define and explain:
(a) The two forms of incompatibilism (b) Compatibalism
Part 2: Plato’s Ring of Gyges. In this story, Gyges finds a ring which makes him invisible (just like Lord of the Rings). Often the story is stated such that when you are invisible you are “free to do anything you wish,” but there are many things you can’t do. If you couldn’t do math before, you still can’t. If you don’t know how to play an instrument, you still can’t. So, it seems that in some areas, freedom requires education. (a) At what point in our lives do we truly become free where we are truly responsible for our actions (if ever)? Was Gyges responsible not matter what age he was when he put on the ring? ( b) When we do reach the point of being responsible (whatever age that happens to be), then are people only free to reach the limits of their natural abilities? (i.e., I can’t be held responsible for not being as fast as a professional runner.). Which natural abilities do we have that have limits? (intelligence? Strength? All of them?) Are there any abilities we have that don’t have limits?
