I agree with the theory that humans are born with innate ideas. This idea was best expressed by Plato (2010), who argued that “man must have intelligence of universals, and be able to proceed from the many particulars of sense to one conception of reason” (p. 417). Locke’s idea of the tabula rasa eliminates the idea of the transcendental—the one, the good and the true—that were at the heart of Plato’s philosophy. Plato argued that the soul had these ideals imprinted upon it from the beginning, as a result of the soul’s having passed before God. Innate ideas were what allowed one to “recollect” or acknowledge truth or goodness when it was encountered, for a sense of these things was innate or in the soul: “this is the recollection of those things which our soul once saw while following God—when regardless of that which we now call being she raised her head up towards the true being” (Plato, 2010, p. 417-418). While Locke’s idea may seem convincing at first because babies and children absorb so much of what is provided them and repeat and believe everything that is told them, the development of reason and the use of logic that children begin to display aligns more with what Plato suggests is the true state of humankind.
If man was truly a blank slate the transcendental ideals would have no connection to him: there would be nothing linking him to the higher planes above that Plato urges men to approach. For the ideal to be true, the soul of man must have a sense of them which...
Perhaps I felt pressured into following social conventions and drinking more than I should have, but there was still a conscious decision on my part, however slight, to go along with what was expected of me. Had my will to do what was right been stronger, I would not have done so.
People in general should react to conflicting feelings about the actions to take in given situations by using their reason to guide their will. Only you have the power to give over your free will—and even if you are pressured or even forced to do something against your will, your will is what must consent and if you do not consent but are forced, you cannot feel like you are guilty. One’s will should always be guided by one’s right use of reason.…
Theory Free Market Fairness for the Free New World When choosing between theories of distributive justice, Rawls' "Justice as Fairness" and Tomasi's "Free Market Fairness," Tomasi's theory best expresses the democratic ideal of society as a system of social cooperation between free and equal persons. In the 21st century global economic landscape, a very popular and profitable trend is "going green." Going green includes making improvements to operations of organizations that promote
Q3: Define free will and determinism. Discuss how free will and determinism are relevant to the following theories: Free will may be defined as the ability to make decisions independent of social, biological, and cognitive shaping mechanisms; determinism is the idea one is subject to such forces at cannot fundamentally alter one's future trajectory in a meaningful manner. Freud's psychoanalytic theory Freud took a highly deterministic view of how the human psyche was
The level of industrialization of the SEA countries also varies largely but this can be attributed to the difference in the size of the domestic market of each country or region and their overall level of development on the economic front. Singapore and Indonesia have benefitted largely from the creation of the ASEAN since these countries are the larger of the SEA countries. Malaysia has also benefitted as a
On the other hand, those who subscribe to the theory of free will believe that life's events are a direct result of the person's own self-generated actions. It is the philosophical idea that a person is able to choose from a variety of real alternatives, and depending on which alternative is chosen, it is this choice that ultimately determines the outcome ("Free Will"). In Christian theology, free will involves the

Human beings understand that their free will is not threatened by the future of the stars. Faith is a choice that need not be influenced by the fact that the sun will one day burn away. Nor is faith influenced by the ineffability of divine foreknowledge. Human beings have but a partial understanding of the divine and indeed of the universe. It is therefore not a matter of whether
