Reading Four Views on Free Will. In the introduction are some guiding definitions as well as this chart to help one to understand various views (row-wise) based on some questions (column-wise).
According to this chart, I’m a hard incompatibilist, As it reads,
- I don’t subscribe to notions of free will or moral responsibility.
- Free will and determinism cannot coexist in the same domain. (And the domain is the universe.)
- Moral responsibility cannot be assigned in a deterministic environment.
- Humans have no free will. (And neither can anything else.)
I’ve only read Robert Kane’s chapter so far. He’s a defender of Libertarianism.
John Martin Fischer is next. He’s known as a semi-compatibilist. We’ll find out what that means.
This is the end of a very short post, but I felt that the chart would be helpful for some.
