10. The Value of Choices in Relation to FREEDOM
- Freedom involves choice.
- Human beings are
determined.
- Humanity without the capacity
to choose is a PAWN.
- Sartre quoted,
“ It is through choice that man
lives an authentic human life.”
- Human beings have no
capacity to choose, since it
shows that man cannot
control the situations him.
- Humanity is a Pawn to
whoever or whatever nature
allows to happen.

11. Fatalism
- A view that states that one is
powerless to do anything than
what he actually wants to do.
 - Whatever action human
beings choose is not a choice
but what nature dictates.

12. Chance and choosing are not incommensurable
 The act of choosing is
valuable because it gives the
human person the reason to
make deliberate actions out of
motives that reveal his
autonomy as an agent or an
individual.
 As what Sartre said,
“ To act in bad faith is to allow
others to choose for you or for
chance to take its lead.”

13. Chance and choosing are not incommensurable
 If a person has a capacity to
choose, then that person can
be held responsible over the
consequences of his actions.
 Hence, the person becomes
prudent with the choices he
makes.
* Prudent - careful

14. The Nature of the choices we make
 Robert Nozick , a renowned
American Philosopher
explained in his 1981 book,
Philosophical explanations
that making a choice seems
to feel like there are various
reasons for and against doing
each of the alternative
actions.
 Nozick introduced the concept
of weighing the reasons.
- He explained that when you
are choosing, the act involves
not only weighing the reasons
but giving weight to reasons.

15. In Nozick’s concept
 The action does not have a prior casually determined
weight for the reasons.
