Free Will and Determinism
Are our actions all determined?
Challenge: We have free will.
Positions and Definitions
Determinist: Even punishing to deter others is unjust because the person who commits a crime could not help doing the action.
Hard determinism (02) Our actions have causes just like the motions of objects in nature have causes. It is unscientific to blame people.
Free Will Theorist: We always have a choice of what we do.
