While there are several different viewpoints of free will in philosophy‚ the main theories are hard determinist‚ libertarians‚ and compatibilism.

This may seem counterproductive to what one may consider the positive idea of free-will‚ however once understood that we are truly free in our entire existence it becomes seemingly more sanguine. Sartre discusses various consequences of being completely free in our own choices. The most prominent ideas are that of being “condemned to be free”‚ abandonment‚ “bad faith” and not allowing one’s self to use excuses such as passion‚ human nature or “unconscious

To asses the applicability of the data to determinism a more in depth examination of determinism is needed‚ which Taylor defines as having three tenets: Firstly‚ that the theory of determinism is true. Secondly‚ that voluntary behaviour is free unless constrained‚ and finally that causes of voluntary behaviour are certain states‚ condition‚ decisions‚ and desires.
