		The subjects in the philosophy of Determinism and Freedom include the nature of causation, the different kind of freedom that is voluntariness rather than free will or orgination, and so on.
		On offer here eventually will be a good selection of the most important pieces of writing on the various subjects in the philosophy of Determinism and Freedom.
		The name of this philosophy might have been Determinism and Free Will, since in this context 'free will' is often used generally to mean the same as 'freedom'.

	The Free Music Philosophy (v1.4 - June 17, 1998; v1.0 - February 1, 1994)
		If the freedom of copying and using music appeals to you and you would like the idea spread around, then when you copy a album of anyone, regardless of whether they follow this philosophy or not, send them a donation to enable them to continue their making of music.
		The U.S. Constitution, for example, states that the purpose of Copyright is "to promote the progress of science and useful arts." The Free Music Philosophy ensures that both society and the individual benefit.
		If you are a like-minded independent artist not wanting corporate controls interfering with your creativity, and would like more freedom in society, then this is a way to spread your music widely.

		Freedom School, to the same extent, served as a philosophical training ground for the Freedom Newspaper editorial staff, allowing the staff writers to better understand freedom philosophy.
		And since freedom philosophy was a constantly evolving group of ideas there was constant correspondence and discussion among all the editors as to what should be the Freedom Newspaper position.
		Raymond Cyrus Hoiles (born November 24,1878; died October 30, 1970) was the founder of the Freedom Newspaper chain, a group of daily newspapers that grew out of his employment as a printer's devil in the early 1900's.

	This is the Existentialism Page.
		Sartre's philosophy is explicitly atheistic and pessimistic; he declared that human beings require a rational basis for their lives but are unable to achieve one, and thus human life is a “futile passion.” Sartre nevertheless insisted that his existentialism is a form of humanism, and he strongly emphasized human freedom, choice, and responsibility.
		In the philosophy of Sartre, the word nausea is used for the individual's recognition of the pure contingency of the universe, and the word anguish is used for the recognition of the total freedom of choice that confronts the individual at every moment.
		Existentialism as a distinct philosophical and literary movement belongs to the 19th and 20th centuries, but elements of existentialism can be found in the thought (and life) of Socrates, in the Bible, and in the work of many premodern philosophers and writers.

	Jean Paul Sartre biography
		Sartre's philosophy is explicitly atheistic and pessimistic; he declared that human beings require a rational basis for their lives but are unable to achieve one, and thus human life is a "futile passion." He nevertheless insisted that his Existentialism is a form of humanism, and he strongly emphasized human freedom, choice, and responsibility.
		These teaching duties were interrupted in 1933 by his spending a year in Berlin studying an emergent philosophy - phenomenology - and attending lectures given by its founder Edmund Husserl.
		Since the existentialist values free will and wants others to respect his or her freedom, the ethical system developed is based upon free expression.

	Philosophy of education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Critics have accused the philosophy of education of being one the weakest subfields of both philosophy and education, disconnected from philosophy (by being insufficiently rigorous for the tastes of many "real" philosophers) and from the broader study and practice of education (by being too philosophical, too theoretical).
		Throughout the education, a great importance is placed upon having free and creative individuals as teachers; thus, schools should have an appropriate amount of freedom to shape their own curriculum and teachers should have a corresponding freedom to shape the daily life of the classroom.
		Education thus is a means to fostering the individual's, society's, and even humanity's future development and prosperity.

	Free Will
		Finally, there are those who believe freedom of will consists in a distinctively personal form of causality, commonly referred to as “agent causation.” The agent himself causes his choice or action, and this is not to be reductively analyzed as an event within the agent causing the choice.
		René Descartes, for example, identifies the faculty of will with freedom of choice, “the ability to do or not do something” (Meditation IV), and even goes so far as to declare that “the will is by its nature so free that it can never be constrained” (Passions of the Soul, I, art.
		Free will also appears to be a condition on desert for one's accomplishments (why sustained effort and creative work are praiseworthy); on the autonomy and dignity of persons; and on the value we accord to love and friendship.

	Eastern philosophy and meditation

	Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Academic Freedom and "harassment"
		There were a couple of other things that horrified them in addition -- mostly regarding the freedom of conscience that leads to non-reproductive sex -- but the philosophy thing was what really traumatized the two or three of them.
		A few of devout types were, in the course of meeting their philosophy credit requirement, horrified to learn that the professors were teaching not only the arguments for the existence of god, but also the criticisms of those arguments.
		Furthermore, academic freedom is not an end in itself, it is a means towards the discovery of truth.

	(the cry) ------ existentialism
		Existentialism is a philosophical movement which emphasizes on individual existence, freedom, and choice.
		By this, existentialism states that man exists and in that existence man defines himself and the world in his own subjectivity, and wanders between choice, freedom, and existential angst.
		There are several philosophical positions all related to existential philosophy but the main identifiable common proposition, is that existence precedes essence.

	Diana Mertz Hsieh: NoodleFood
		The use of the term is a sneaky way of casting massive government coercion as genuine freedom.
		Only those whose imaginations end at the board room door think that they offer ultimate freedom.
		And major differences in metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics would indicate that the political theories really aren't all that similar in the end, such that to classify them all as "libertarian" would be to focus on inessentials.

	Language, Game, Freedom, Play, Reality - Notes by Alan Gullette
		"Game for Robbe-Grillet has come to mean structural freedom, absence of traditional rules of transition, viewpoint, chronology, and other parameters of previous fiction and, on the constructive side, an invitation to create new models, to develop new combinations…" (Bruce Morrissette, "Games and Game Structure in Robbe-Grillet," in Ehrmann, 167)
		Language, Game, Freedom, Play, Reality - Notes by Alan Gullette
		"By the same process whereby he spins language out of his own being, he ensnares himself in it; and each language draws a magic circle around the people to which it belongs, a circle from which there is no escape save by stepping out of it into another." (Von Humboldt, quoted in Cassirer 1946).

	20th WCP: Critical Comments on Laudan's Theory of Scientific Aims
		A philosophy that disqualifies as irrational widely admired or revered goals, as well as their admirers, is a philosophy under suspicion of having too exacting standards, such a doctrine is itself suspected of having 'demonstrably utopian' meta-aims.
		These dissidents were thought to be insane, because they would not adapt or conform, because they were maladapted, as was shown by their stubborn and hopeless contest, they were maladapted as was shown by the enormous personal costs they were ready to incur for the sake of their impossible dream: 'bourgeois freedom'.
		For Laudan a conformist or resigned slave would be rational, but a frustrated-though self steemed-idealist (such as Spartacus or a Soviet dissident) that would not conform, that would fight for freedom, would not be rational.

	Foreknowledge and Free Will
		"Freedom and Foreknowledge," Faith and Philosophy 17 (April), 212-224.
		The point of Frankfurt's paper was to drive a wedge between responsibility and alternate possibilities, and to thereby drive a wedge between responsibility and libertarian freedom.
		Hunt (1996b, 1999) argues that the rejection of PAP from the perspective of a defender of libertarian freedom can be found in Augustine, but even if that is true, it is not a position historically associated with Augustine.

	What's wrong with libertarianism
		This radically anti-state political philosophy unites free-market economics, a no-exceptions attachment to private property rights, a profound concern for human liberty, and a love of peace, with the conclusion that society should be completely free to develop absent any interference from the state, which can and should be eliminated.
		If complete economic freedom and absence of government is a cure-all, partial economic freedom and limited government should be a cure-some.
		The Founders negotiated a balance between a government that was arbitrary and coercive (their experience as British colonial subjects) and one that was powerless and divided (the failed Articles of Confederation).

	Hegel's First System by Herbert Marcuse, 1941
		Hegel thought that without this inner freedom the outer freedom democracy was supposed to institute and protect was of no avail.
		Hegel remained faithful to the heritage of the eighteenth century and incorporated its ideals into the very structure of his philosophy.
		Hegel recognised the great forward surges that must be generated by the prevailing order of society — the development of material as well as cultural productivity; the destruction of obsolete power relations that hampered the advance of mankind; and the emancipation of the individual so that he might be the free subject of his life.

	Hegel's Philosophy of Right: Introduction
		Freedom in every philosophy of reflection, whether it be the Kantian or the Friesian, which is the Kantian superficialised, is nothing more than this formal self-activity.
		Right in general is something holy, because it is the embodiment of the absolute conception and self-conscious freedom.
		Right is positive in general (a) in its form, since it has validity in a state; and this established authority is the principle for the knowledge of right.

	Hegel Encyclopedia Article @ HigherPower.org (Higher Power)
		Modern philosophy, culture, and society seemed to Hegel fraught with contradictions and tensions, such as those between the subject and object of knowledge, mind and nature, self and other, freedom and authority, knowledge and faith, the Enlightenment and Romanticism.
		History, however, progresses by learning from its mistakes: only after and precisely because of this experience can one posit the existence of a constitutional state of free citizens, embodying both the benevolent organizing power of rational government and the revolutionary ideals of freedom and equality.
		A number of other works on the philosophy of history, religion, aesthetics, and the history of philosophy were compiled from the lecture notes of his students and published posthumously.
