This document discusses the philosophical debate between determinism and libertarianism regarding freedom of will. Determinism holds that all events are determined by causal laws, leaving no room for free will or moral responsibility. Libertarians argue that people have free will based on their ability to deliberate between choices and feel moral responsibility. Compatibilism offers a middle position that while people are determined, they can still be considered free and responsible for voluntary actions. The document outlines arguments from different philosophers on each side and provides an essay question asking students to argue their position on this issue.
