Overview
: Suppose someone were to argue that an individual’s actions are entirely determined by their upbringing. To make it concrete, let’s say that it is having been brought up in a dysfunctional household that is decisive in determining this person’s behavior. If we wanted to try to refute this idea, what kinds of examples would be best to look for? (In other words, try to think in terms of the schema we’ve been working with since Plato: if idea A is true, what else would we expect to see and/or not see in the world? What are the logical implications of idea A, and are they true?)
