Explanation
Must introduces necessary condition, correct? I diagrammed the question as follows:
GP: Both the consequences and the motives of human actors have bearing on moral worth of those actions.
C & M —-> MWA
not MWA —> not C or not M
Premise: one cannot be a moral agent without desiring to conform to a principle
MA —-> CP
Not CP —-> not MA
P: ??
C: to be a moral agent, one must have free will
MA —> FW
Argument jumps from conform to a principle to one must have free will, conforming to a principle requires free will (CP —-> FW)
Is my thought process correct here? Thanks!
