Completed quickly and followed instructions given. Grammar, spelling, etc. was all good as well. Thank you so much! Will hire in the future.
We continue our topic of free will – now looking at another approach. We saw that according to Determinists like D’Holbach, we really do not have free will, there are only a physical, causal chains of events, and our actions are included in those: therefore free will is an illusion.
Now we will address the approach called Compatibilism: Compatibilism says that, yes, the universe is deterministic insofar as it is subject to the laws of physics, but that doesn’t mean that there are certain actions we nevertheless understand, and describe as resulting from our free will. So free will and determinism are compatible. Read on to find out how this idea can be made out.
