Morally Responsible Moral Responsibility
1,934 wordsIn his essay, Freedom and Necessity, A. J.

Currently, all places in the world, which I can think of, are built around some moral basis that holds a person responsible for their actions. Although, a hard determinist would have to disagree and say that people are not free. Human acts are cause...
