G. Ryle explains that believing that the mind and the body belong to the same category, leads to the mistake of thinking that mechanistic laws that are known to govern interaction between physical bodies must have some counterpart (must somehow be also applicable to) mental processes, and also govern the relation between metal processes and physical ones. Example:-My thought that I am thirsty causes my willing to drink. (mental-to-mental)-My will causes my hand to move. (mental-to--physical)-My hand causes the cup to move. (physical-to-physical) This chain of causation (deterministic laws of interaction) lead to all of the following irresolvable problems, except:a. How to explain the physical world in terms of deterministic laws of cause-effect. b. How to account for moral responsibility when every interaction occurs under rigid laws of cause-effect (note that I have to be the cause of my actions, or I cannot be held responsible or praised for them).c. How freedom of the will fits in a chain of cause-effect relations. d. How to explain mental process in less-than-rigid (allowing for exceptions) mechanistic laws in order to make room for freedom of the will but not losethe causal determination (or I lose responsibility or merit for action I could not have caused)

Around the third week of a college class, a professor decides she’s had enough, is tired of dealing with bureaucracies, and wants out. so one day, instead of coming to class, she flies to tahiti and sells souvenirs on the beach. if this happened, the college would simply assign a substitute to finish the course. what does this tell you about the nature of the authority wielded by a professor?
