Aprašymas

In Freedom, Teleology, and Evil Stewart Goetz� defends the existence of libertarian freedom of the will.� He argues that choices are essentially uncaused events with teleological explanations in the form of reasons or purposes.� Because choices are uncaused events with teleological explanations, whenever agents choose they are free to choose otherwise.� Given this freedom to choose otherwise, agents are morally responsible for how they choose.� Thus, � Goetz advocates and defends the principle of alternative possibilities which states that agents are morally responsible for a choice only if they are free to choose otherwise.� Finally, given that agents have libertarian freedom, Goetz contends that this freedom is integral to the construction of a theodicy which explains why God allows evil.�
