Dont you think that all the cases are well dealt by 'chance' and 'reason' only ?I mean to propose that they are mutually exhaustive...Aren't they?
Would be interesting to know your point of view ( I beg your pardon that I did not give much thought to this but lets see ..)
@ Sorry for replying late. But here are my two pence.
I confess I am no Aristotle, but I’ll give my rendition of it nonetheless.
Chance: Something which is responsible more as the cause, the root of action than the action itself. Chance will produce the option in your possibility map. For example, you have secured a seat in the most prestigious b-school, but you just miss out by one mark.
Chance is the candidate above you in the merit list left the world!! This will result in an opportunity for action. Not the action
Nature: I can’t differentiate what exactly does he refer to, when he says, nature. But since he is talking about humans, I assume that it’s the human nature. How can nature influence actions?
Are you an opportunist? If yes, you will cash in on opportunities which don’t even exist for others. That is, you will act upon certain opportunities; or rather create some, out of your sheer nature.
Do you procrastinate a lot?
You will perform certain inactions where an action was required.
Hence, nature is justified.
Compulsion: Quite easy to explain. You perform certain actions just out of pure compulsion to do it. If you were to be asked, then probably you wouldn’t have done them in the first place.
Habit: habit is different from nature. Nature is something we inherit by closely watching or following someone. Can be rather termed as aping. Your nature is determined by your genetic material plus the environment along with the people surrounding you.
Habit is something you do with yourself. Habits are not enforced, they can just be initiated, but to continue with a habit, is purely your own take. So, actions are done out of pure habit. Here, by actions, we mean, decisive and indecisive actions.
Reason: this reason is the least followed by people to do something. Although requires to be followed the maximum but following it often challenges the social structure and the comfort levels of both intellectual and spiritual nature, it is rarely followed.
Passion: this is a hunger. Both body hunger and a hunger to do something.
Desire: he places desire at the last step, because this cause is something which has the power to alter any cause. You desire to achieve something, you forego the weak moments of passion, you change any habit, and there is no compulsion but your goal as the driving force. Nature is not something you fall back on and chance is not something you rely on . the only irony is, people who have this desire need not have a logical reason to it !!
My friend and I were recently discussing about how technology has become so integrated in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes cheaper, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about almost every day.
