Problem of whether we have free will - can’t allone’s experiences, desires, knowledge, circumstances make anaction inevitable

Problem (most basic) of all morality - the existence of not justone, obvious ‘good’ motive, but of so many other‘good’ motives

Problem of the nature of death - the refusal to happily acceptlogic telling us to fear only if we survive it!(Pascal’s wager)

Problem of knowledge of the world beyond our minds - can’t(dis)prove there might be more to the world than can be understoodby physical science

Problem of how language is possible - symbols, our onlylinks to each other and God, have no intrinsic meaning inthemselves
