Free Will and Determinism
- Hard Determinism
- There is no free will. All moral actions
have prior causes. No one can be held
morally responsible
- Human behaviour is wholly determined by external
factors, It is all a chain of cause and effect.
- Ted Honderich 'All our choices, decisions, intensions,
other mental events, and our actions are no more than
effects of other equally necessitated events. There is no
choice and therefore no moral resposiblity.'
- Libertarianism
- People are fee to make moral choices and so are
responsible for their actions
- Soft Determinism
- Determinism is true in many
aspects but we are still morally
responsible for our actions
- Compatiblism
- The belief that it is possible to be both free and
determined. Some aspects of our nature are determined
but not our ability to make moral decisions
