AN INCOMPATIBLE VIEW ON THE DEBATE OF FREE WILL AND MORAL RESPONSIBILITY

Year 2023, Volume: 3 Issue: 6, 77 - 88, 14.12.2023

Abstract

In this article, we will explore the relationship between free will and moral responsibility based on the incompatibilism. This debate holds significant importance in comtemporary analytical action philosophy. Typically, discussions surrounding free will and moral responsibility are linked with determinism in contemporary philosophy of action. Within the framework of compatibilism, incompatibilism and libertarianism, we discuss how we can acknowledge the existence of free will in a deterministic world. Incompabilism is the belief that determinism is incompatible with free will and moral responsibility. According to incompatibilism to believe we possess free will. Many of incompatibilist think that is sufficient for ust to believe in the existence of both free will and moral responsibility. This study aims to examine the context of this debate framework incompatibilism. The main claim of this article is that, while incompatibilism's ideas on determinism are plausible, its ideas on free will and moral responsibility are incomplete and inadequate.

ÖZGÜR İRADE VE AHLAKİ SORUMLULUK TARTIŞMASINA BAĞDAŞMAZ BİR YAKLAŞIM

Year 2023, Volume: 3 Issue: 6, 77 - 88, 14.12.2023

Abstract

Bu makalede özgür irade ve ahlaki sorumluluk ilişkisi bağdaşmazcı anlayış çerçevesinde tartışılacaktır. Özellikle bu tartışmanın çağdaş eylem felsefesi içinde hatırı sayılır bir yeri vardır. Genel olarak çağdaş eylem felsefesinde özgür irade ve ahlaki sorumluluk tartışması determinizm ile birlikte açıklanmaktadır. Determinist bir dünyada özgür iradenin varlığından nasıl söz edebileceğimiz, bağdaşırcılık, bağdaşmazcılık ve özgürlükçülük çerçevesinde ele alınmaktadır. Bağdaşmazcılık özgür irade ve ahlaki sorumluluğun, determinizm ile bağdaşmaz olduğu iddiasıdır. Bağdaşmazcılığa göre özgür irademiz olduğuna inanırız. Bağdaşmazcıların çoğu bunun bile tek başına hem özgür iradenin hem de ahlaki sorumluluğun varlığına inanmamız için yeterli olduğunu düşünür. Bu makalenin amacı söz konusu tartışmayı, bağdaşmazcılık bağlamında incelemektir. Bu makaledeki temel iddia, bağdaşmazcılığın determinizm konusundaki düşünceleri akla yatkınken özgür irade ve ahlaki sorumluluk konusundaki düşüncelerinin eksik ve yetersiz kaldığıdır.
