Understanding Free Will: Two Philosophical Perspectives
Free will is explored in two philosophical perspectives: libertarian free will, which posits that freedom involves acting outside of causes and conditions, and compatibleist free will, which suggests that free will can coexist with determinism. The debate revolves around whether our choices are genuinely free or influenced by past experiences, ultimately shaping ethical responsibility.
