Hard Determinism Vs Compatibilism

The problem with free will is that it requires a specific attention that most people do not give the topic. Most people believe that free will is the simple ability to make your own decisions. However, there are a couple different of factors that play into that decision. Which is what people are trying to figure out. If there is free will in the world, or if there are things that are already predetermined. Like how our brain is made up is exactly how we will turn, or if people are the ability to change. To act on certain urges and desires, compared to not acting on other urges and desires. In this paper I will show that hard determinism, liberalism, and compatibilism constitutes a good reason to believe free will is not implied in our society.
Hard Determinism is a specific perspective on free will that considers determinism is true. It states that it is incompatible with
free will and it does not exist. A very good example would be if God knew everyone’s future, but nobody else would know about the decision’s that God already has planned. Therefore, how are we to know that God does truly have everything planned out, or he is just taking credit for something he truly doesn’t have control over. A determinist would believe that all the events that happen are already laid out and determined by some hierarchy.
Libertarianism is a political philosophy that trophies liberty as the main focus. Libertarians seek to make the maximum autonomy and making the choice of freedom a large portion, volunatary association and the primacy of individual judgement.
Compatibilism is the belief that you can believe in both determinism and free will without being contradicting or also known as logically inconsistent.
“Compatibilists believe freedom can be present or absent in situations for reasons that have nothing to do with metaphysics.” For example, when someone completely murders a whole family and they are trying to decide if they are going to jail for the fact that they murdered the family. Someone may try and say that it was a mental illness that caused them to murder the whole family. Some people consider that the fact that the mental illness is what caused the person to murder the family. Others say that one person can control their own desires. However, when someone controls their own desires that is what is considered free will. When they do not have the ability to control their own actions or desires that is what is considered determinism. Therefore the mental illness of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is known is an abnormal behavior including not being able to decipher what is real and what is not real in life. However, is one supposed to be able
to The hardest thing to do is to decipher the difference during a court case is to for someone to decide wether or not an act was made during ‘free will’ or an act of determinism, libertarianism, or compatibilism. When people are in a the court in front of a judge, and they try and say that they were ‘not in the right state of mind’ during the act of the felony of law-breaking. Which is an awesome thing to try and bring up, and try to take the blame off from your self during that time. However, it is now up to other people to decide if that is actually try. So your leaving your fate up to other people, which in its self is almost determinism.
