What Is The Noumena Of Causality?

Being released to theatres in 2009, Mr. Nobody is now known to be as one of the most philosophical films ever made. It’s filled with confusion, challenges, and originality from what the movie is all about. What made the movie philosophical is that it shows a lot of free will and determinism of the character Nemo Nobody (Jared Leto). However, there are some struggles along the lines of free will and determinism throughout the film.

Timeliness is important in all aspects of life. In the army they say “10 minutes prior is on time, and being on time is late”, that is the standard set forth and expected to be accomplished by the armed forces. By oversleeping I not only failed to meet the standard, I also failed my squad and my platoon because they did not have accountability of everyone, another main standard of the army. I also took the time of my team leader, who had to sit and wait for me while everyone else did PT. Missing movement not only cost me more time in the end, it cost the whole rest of the unit in one way or another. Timeliness is also the first step in a soldiers’ task to keep accountability at all times. Accountability is defined by

Causation refers to whether the defendant's conduct caused the harm or damage in a crime and it must be established in all result crimes. Causation in criminal liability is divided into factual causation and legal causation. Factual causation is the starting point and consists of applying the 'but for' test. In most cases, factual causation alone will be enough to establish causation. However, in some circumstances it will also be necessary to consider legal causation. Legal causation is when the result must be caused by a culpable act, the act of the defendant may not necessarily need to be the only cause, but must be more than minimal. Factual causation is

From this view, Kant takes the perspective that ethical free-will is a danger to civil and social order. Absent the categorical imperative, man is left

Causation needs to be established. With causation the defendant (university) needs to have caused harm because of their lack of action. Was the plaintiff just careless in their action causing the slip and fall? Did the university not cleaning the parking lot cause the fall of the student? For the claimant to recover damages this is where they would need to prove that the university was at least partially at fault in causing them harm (Owen, 2007). The school not cleaning the parking lot shows that their actions was the majority at fault of injury.

Immanuel Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals serves the purpose of founding moral theory from moral judgment and examining whether there is such thing as a ‘moral law’ that is absolute and universal. In chapter three of his work, he discusses the relationship between free will and the moral law and claims “A free will and a will under moral laws are one and the same.” He stands firm in his belief that moral law is what guides a will that is free from empirical desires. To be guided by moral laws it would require men to be ideal rational agents.

2. The formula of the Law of Nature. “Act as if the maxim of your action were to become through your will a universal law of nature.” This formulation is troublesome as it is nearly identical to the first with the major difference being that you will your maxim to be a law of nature not a rational law. Laws of nature are the physical laws that bind all things to act in the way they do except for ration agents. Only humans, as rational beings, can choose to act in a particular way. All other animals and all inanimate objects can only act as nature wills (if nature had a will) with no choice in the matter. With this formulation Kant is saying that you should act as thought what you are doing is guided by a physical law that you have no choice to act on.

A conflict I recently had was with my father. My father is a conservative Evangelical Pentecostal Christian, and I identify myself as a Christian. He continually keeps forcing his religious beliefs down my throat, by trying to make me go to his Church every Sunday and if I don't, he claims that I'm straying away from God and in danger of going to hell. Another reason for the conflict is that he wants my brother and I to go there every Sunday, because people would ask him why his children weren't in church, which he thinks will ruin his reputation. I don't care at all if my family has the best reputation or the worst reputation, someone's opinion of me is totally irrelevant to me. We continually argue if going to Church every Sunday is needed

Determinism refers to the belief that everything happen necessarily and every event has a cause. Determinism believes events can happen for multiple causes but does not allowed the possibility that something results from no cause. Every action has a cause even if one believes the decision was made on their own

Hume believes it is human nature to trust the causal laws, but fears that if his critique of induction is correct there could be a day when there is a cause without an expected effect, disproving causal laws. Kant combats this fear with Transcendental Idealism, which argues that the world as we know it exists in the mind. Phenomena embodies this argument by representing how our mind has glasses that cause itself to see the world based on how it wants to. This new idea caused a Copernican revolution bringing forth a new idea that the object around us conforms to the mind. Kant uses this theory to give Hume absolute certainty that there will never be a cause without an effect because if he wants to see the effect, the objects will conform to that desire, no matter if it happens in the real world or

First off, Kant is an ethical theorist that would be considered a deontologist, which is someone who believes that an action's morality depends on the motive behind it. The other side of the philosophic view are consequentialist, who believe that the consequences of an action are the more defining of the action’s morality than the intent or motive behind it. Kant

Kant is considered a non-consequentiality, which means he feels the intentions motives, and good will is more important than the results or consequences of an action. The backbone of Kant's philosophy is the belief in the fundamental freedom of the individual. Kant did

1. There are three components required to determine a causal relationship. The three components are temporal precedence, covariation of the cause and effect and no plausible alternative explanations, these are the three things you need to determine a causal relationship. Temporal precedence is showing the cause before the effect happen. Covariation of the cause and effect, prove that they have some type of relationship. Between the two things they share a relationship somehow. The last one is no plausible alternative explanations that mean because they have a relationship it does not mean it is causal relationship, but it could be a factor or something that cause the outcome. Example the ice cream sales go up in the summer, and also been reported

This study does not conclusively establish a positive correlation between high testosterone and anti-social behavior. The researchers concluded from a correlational study that a causal relationship exists, yet that assumption is faulty. Causality cannot be implicated due to reverse causation or a third confounding variable. Regardless, there is still merit to this data if high testosterone is said to not play a predisposing role to aggressiveness. For example, a third variable, physical activity, tends to increase testosterone. Therefore, actors and NFL players who are more physically active than ministers, should have higher levels of testosterone; which does not imply high testosterone leads individuals to choose more anti-social and aggressive
