Free Will and Moral Responsibility

Free will and moral responsibility Free will and moral responsibility are always one of the most fundamental and fundamental elements of philosophy. We do not deny that there is an association between free will and moral responsibility. The different philosophers of the times see this relationship in the same way and in different ways. Aristotle and Epicuts can see the initial relevance between free will and moral responsibility through their voluntary and involuntary views.

Since Peter Strawson changed this problem from free will to moral responsibility in 1962, the tendency to make free will equal to moral responsibility is increasing. Early on, the problem of "free will" is closely related to the issue of moral responsibility. Most of the ancient thinkers about this problem are that we humans can control our decisions, that our actions are "on us" and that fate, arbitrary gods, logical necessity Or tried to prove that it is not decided by natural causal decisions. . However, to say today's "free will is understood as a condition of moral responsibility control" is a serious mistake in concept analysis and clear thinking. Free will is clearly a precondition for responsibility. Whether responsibility is moral responsibility depends on our moral value. John Martin Fischer said:

Extensive incompatibility believes that both free will and moral responsibility are incompatible with determinism. Narrow incompatibility believes free will is incompatible, but moral responsibility is compatible with determinism. Semi-sensitive people are narrow compatriots who do not know free will and determinism, but argue that moral responsibility is compatible with determinism. For those who know uncertainty, at least in microcosm, many people deny that opportunities and quantum randomness are important to free will. Strangely, this includes a causalist who assumes a non-material cause (such as the cause of material thought), and a non-causalist who asserts that his intention and intent have not been canceled at all .

Traditionally, the contradictory position for freedom has been divided and defined according to the following question: "Is free will and moral responsibility compatible with determinism?" Our choice is based on the result of external forcing If not, reflecting our own desire, beliefs, and deliberation, we seem to be free to act. This is enough for a "living person" to give us moral responsibility for these behaviors and declare that free will is compatible with determinism. However, "liberal" insists that people really deserve praise and accusation. If determinism is true, the circumstances in which we make choices and the aspirations and beliefs that we rely on are the inevitable consequences of the causal linkage that occurs long before we are born. So, in what sense are we really responsible for them?
