Introduction to Philosophy

Here the two essays done in response to the first task from "Introduction to Philosophy". It required the bringing together of two two authors on a related subject into what was called "critical dialogue", which was meant to be more than a compare and contrast essay, but not quite a response to a set question. The first is on "Free Will, Determinism and Moral Responsibility", while the second is on "The Meaning of Life". Enjoy.
