Write an argumentative essay defending or criticizing determinism. Your essay should address the argument for determinism, and why (or why not) it is defensible. If you defend determinism, you'll need also to address indeterminist and soft determinist counterarguments. Conversely, if you defend either indeterminism or soft determinism, you'll need to consider how a determinist is likely to
respond. You can use materials from Chapter 7 but are not limited to these.
