Is the free will defense a successful response to the problem of evil?

Is the free will defense a successful response to the problem of evil?
(a) Carefully and methodically (but in your words) explain how the atheist argues that God
does not exist because evil exists. Be sure to explain how the various qualities attributed to
God in the Judeo-Christian tradition bear on the problem.
(b) Explain the distinction between moral and natural evil. Give some examples.
(c) Carefully explain the free will defense. Make sure that you say what type of evil the
defense is concerned with. Take care to explain why a world with free beings in it, who
might cause evil, is better than a world with unfree beings who always do good.
(d) State your thesis (answer to the title question) and justify it. You should explain the
philosophical objections that have been raised against the free will defense (among them
Mackie’s argument). You should also evaluate them. Do you think that they are good
objections? Do they undermine the free will defense?

Write an essay explaining and evaluating substance dualist interactionism

Philosophy of Mind

Write an essay explaining and evaluating substance dualist interactionism.

Your essay must be 3-5 pages, double-spaced, in 12-point font. It will be automatically checked for plagiarism by SafeAssign. Plagiarism will result in an automatic 0 for the assignment. There may also be further disciplinary actions from the school.

I have included a rubric detailing how your essay will be graded. It is divided into five sections, each worth 20 points. In each section, you will earn points as follows.

On the writing section, you will be graded based on the quality of your writing. To earn 12 points, your essay must be clear, with well-developed paragraphs, complete and grammatical sentences, and words chosen for their precise meanings. To earn 16 points, your essay must also start with an introduction that motivates the project and plainly states your thesis and finish with a conclusion that both summarizes your evaluation of the position clearly and explores implications or limitations of your assessment. To earn all 20 points, your essay musthave aclear and logical organizational plan as well, with ideas, sentences, and paragraphs building naturally in support of your thesis. To accomplish this, you must make sure your organizational plan would be obvious to the average reader, and you must use transitional words, phrases, and sentences to show how your sentences and paragraphs relate to each other and to your thesis.

On the section concerning your understanding of the position, you will be graded based on your explanation of substance dualist interactionism. To earn 12 points on this section, you will need to explain substance dualism and distinguish it from physicalist theories of the mind. To earn 16 points, you will also need to explain interactionism and distinguish it from epiphenomenalism. To earn all 20 points, you will also need to explain in detail why the existence of qualia motivates many people to accept dualism.

On the illustration section, you will need to provide your own realistic example to illustrate substance dualist interactionism. It needs to be realistic, and you need to come up with it on your own. For instance, you cannot use the example about hunger I presented in class, though that is the type of example I am looking for. To earn 12 points, your example needs to illustrate one-way causal influence, the idea that either the mind or the body has a causal influence on the other one. To earn 16 points, your example also needs to illustrate two-way causal influence, the idea that the mind and the body both have an influence on each other. To get all 20 points, you need to explain as well how this example illustrates substance dualist interactionism, in detail and with clarity, and why it is difficult to explain such interaction.

On the first evaluation section, you will be graded based on your explanation and evaluation of the Knowledge Argument. To earn 12 points on this section, you need to explain the Mary Thought Experiment. To earn 16 points, you will also need to present and critique the Knowledge Argument in your own words. To critique it, you will need to explain whether the premises are true, whether the reasoning is valid, and why you think so. To earn all 20 points, you will also need to present and assess the representationalist reply to the Knowledge Argument discussed in class.

On the second evaluation section, you will be graded based on your explanation and evaluation of the Argument from Science. To earn 12 points on this section, you need to explain why substance dualist interactionism requires non-physical causes. To earn 16 points, you will also need to present and critique the Argument from Science in your own words. To critique it, you will need to explain whether the premises are true, whether the reasoning is valid, and why you think so. To earn all 20 points, you will need to consider and assess a possible reply to the Argument from Science.

Assignment Instructions
The United States is one of the wealthiest and technologically advanced civilizations, yet it fails to rank among
any of the top countries on any indicator of children’s health and well-being (Berk, 2014).
Develop a PowerPoint presentation with audio comparing a given social indicator or issue occurring in the US and
another country.
This assignment has 4 parts:
1) selecting a social indicator and international culture,
2) finding research about the indicator as it occurs in the international culture,
3) creating a PowerPoint presentation of your research,
4) adding audio narration to each slide to present the material.
To begin, please visit the Child Trends website located at: www.childtrends.org.
• Once there, position your cursor over the “Databank” tab at the top of the page, and then click on the
“Indicators by Lifestage” tab, then click on “Infants and Young Children” and/or “Adolescents” labels on
the righthand-side. By doing so, you will be presented with many recent articles pertinent to the health
and development of youth.
• Choose and review any article related to child or adolescent mental health, psychology, or development
(e.g., poverty, developmental delays) and/or one that directly impacts youth’s psychological well-being,
such as obesity.
• Then find at least 2 scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles and/or sources from governmental
institutions or professional associations about that topic as it occurs in another culture so you can
compare and contrast the topic in the US and another country (e.g., obesity among US and Chinese
youth).
• Next, create a PowerPoint presentation in which you:
o Describe the social indicator as it occurs in each culture
o Compare and contrast the research (i.e. how do you understand the similarities and/or
differences in the research findings between cultures)
o Highlight specific information about diversity and multicultural considerations mentioned in the
research (e.g., if the issue occurs more so in girls than boys, among individuals of lower SES,
among specific ethnic group(s), etc.)
o Discuss the implications of the research for prevention and/or intervention.
