Write a fictional, argumentative dialogue between two or more characters debating the meaning of freedom and the problem of freedom and determinism. Your characters should each take stands and defend them with clearly stated reasons. They can respectfully disagree with one another, and should try to address each other's criticisms. Be especially aware of the assumptions that each character makes
when s/he takes a stand. Your dialogue can conclude with agreement, agreeing to disagree, or some sort of new synthesis of preliminary positions. Dialogues should include discussion of the meaning and importance or value of freedom, and of some aspects of the debate over freedom and determinism. They should bring out your perceptions of what's at stake in this issue. You can draw on materials from Chapter 7, but you are not limited to these. You may also wish to stage this dialogue as an oral presentation to your class or make a video of it. What will be an ideal response?
