Document Summary
The free will quesion: free will is necessary for a judgment to blame. Determinism (d) condiions + laws of nature outcome. D implies: 1) history would repeat itself 2) only one choice you can make in the next second, given the past 3) change condiion change outcomes. To have power and ability to choose and to act, free from constraint. Sot compaibilism: (sot determinism) d and fw both exist and are compaible. Incompaibilism: hard determinism: d is true and there is no fw, libertarianism: d is not true and there is fw. Hard and sot d only one possible future, given the past. Libertarianism muliple possible futures, given the past. For d, it may look like you have many opions, but only one is really available to you. I have no choice over the fact that if p, then q . One choice does not mean no choice or no fw. Libertarian: rejecion of d, so a type of indeterminism.
