Problem 1: Use the arguments in the textbook from Smart, Perry, Parfit, and Churchland (who offers a solution to the debate as part of her discussion of the free will-determinism problem) to show why the problem of personal identity is so difficult to solve.
Problem 2: Explain the free will-determinism problem and the debate among the 3 authors we studied.
Problem 3: Martha Nussbaum's notion of cultivating humanity could be seen as an extension of John Dewey's argument for a deeper understanding of the standard concept of democracy, and as a reinterpretation of Dewey's concept of citizenship for the 21st century. Explain.
