Free Will Model

We would like to believe that every human has free will and the ability to choose one’s behavior and actions, however there is a philosophical challenge/problem with this idea. Determinism is the idea that every event has a cause, and it raises several questions towards our notion of free will when it is applied to human behavior. The garden of forking paths notion of free will attempts to model how a human can exercise free will. It essentially states that the natural way to exemplify free will is the ability to choose between different courses of action. Threats to this model arise from the thesis of determinism since, the thesis would suggest only one possible “choice”, therefore leaving a person with only one option and the free will “choice”
