| Genetic Determinism |
| Some biologists and philosophers assert that genes determine and shape everything about a person. This is the doctrine of genetic determinism which is characterised by the absence of free-will. It would seem that we, as individuals and as species, are prisoners of our genetic make-up. In that case, the doctrine of genetic determinism would also be a result of genetics! Are those philosophers themselves prisoners of their genetic make-up? |
