This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Group 1, If a persons decisions are based on inherited instincts that can not be contolled, then the person is not responsible for their actions. supports This man is not accountable for his actions due to the influence of modern neuroscience, The man's paedophilic tendancies went away when his tumor was removed, and returned when the tumor regrew. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Modern neuroscience says this man's tumor was causing his paedophilic tendancies, Modern neuroscience says this man's tumor was causing his paedophilic tendancies therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) This man's decisions were not the cause of his actions based on the conclusion of modern neuroscience., This man's preheld conditions were responsible for his actions based on the conclusion of modern neuroscience therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) This man is not accountable for his actions due to the influence of modern neuroscience, If this man is not accountable for his actions due to the influence of modern neuroscience, then modern neuroscience is eroding the idea of free will therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Modern neuroscience is eroding the idea of free will, The loss of free will will cause much of the glue that holds a free society together to be thrown out the window. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Modern society should not erode the idea of free will., Either this man's decisions were the cause of his actions, or his preheld conditions were responsible for his actions. therefore (ArgScheme: XOR syllogism) This man's preheld conditions were responsible for his actions based on the conclusion of modern neuroscience, If the loss of free will cause much of the glue that holds a free society together to be thrown out the window, then a modern society should not erode the idea of free will. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Modern society should not erode the idea of free will., This man is not accountable for his actions due to the influence of modern neuroscience therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Modern neuroscience is eroding the idea of free will, There is no concrete evidence that can trace paedophilia to brain mechanics. Objection This man's preheld conditions were responsible for his actions based on the conclusion of modern neuroscience, Neuroscience allowed this man's tumor to be discovered and treated therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Modern neuroscience says this man's tumor was causing his paedophilic tendancies, If a man with a tumor began collecting child pornography and propositioning children and if he man's paedophilic tendancies went away when his tumor was removed, and returned when the tumor regrew, then modern neruoscience says that this man's tumor was causing his paedophilic tendencies. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Modern neuroscience says this man's tumor was causing his paedophilic tendancies, A man with a tumor began collecting child pornography and propositioning children. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Modern neuroscience says this man's tumor was causing his paedophilic tendancies, Modern neuroscience is eroding the idea of free will therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The loss of free will will cause much of the glue that holds a free society together to be thrown out the window., This man's decisions were not the cause of his actions based on the conclusion of modern neuroscience. therefore (ArgScheme: XOR syllogism) This man's preheld conditions were responsible for his actions based on the conclusion of modern neuroscience, If this man's preheld conditions were responsible for his actions based on the conclusion of modern neuroscience, then this man is not accountable for his actions due to the influence of modern neuroscience. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) This man is not accountable for his actions due to the influence of modern neuroscience, If modern neuroscience is eroding the idea of free will, then the loss of free will will cause much of the glue that holds a free society together to be thrown out the window. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The loss of free will will cause much of the glue that holds a free society together to be thrown out the window., If modern neuroscience says this man's tumor was causing his paedophilic tendancies, then this man's decisions were not responsible for his actions based on the conclusion of modern neuroscience. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) This man's decisions were not the cause of his actions based on the conclusion of modern neuroscience.
