Is the libertarian vision of free will convincing? Discuss critically with reference to relevant philosophers. Free will is a term that defines the ability of rational agents to choose a course of action, and it is what we, as human beings, are naturally inclined to accept as something we have. In other words, there is broad consensus among philosophers that we are free agents; we choose to act or not act according to our own independent decision-making methods. But this is a commonly debated topic, and many questions have been asked in response to the debate over free will and determinism – questions like: Are we merely puppets for a determining force? The libertarian view holds that any causal laws that necessitate do not govern human actions. Therefore, human beings have a real notion of responsibility and freedom. However, competing views such as determinism oppose this, arguing that everything is determined in one way or another. For example, our actions may have been predetermined by a mysterious, transcendent force (i.e., God). In this article, I will survey opinions on libertarianism to ascertain the extent to which it is the most convincing view. In doing so, I will briefly compare libertarianism with its opposite: determinism. First, I will discuss the views of philosophical thinker Robert Kane and how he argues for libertarianism through his story The Garden of Forking Paths. This will be followed by an examination of Pierre Simon de Laplace's deterministic arguments through Newton's aforementioned astronomical predictions. Finally, I will turn to the libertarianism of Jean-Paul Sartre to investigate the meaning of individuality and how this supports libertarianism. This examination will show the meaning... half the paper... vast, when they should be reduced to a miniature scale; claims that someone can use classical mechanics knowing the position of every atom in the universe to know the past and future, but this seems to only take into account the Earth itself, rather than being able to correctly predict the life and actions of each human being. single person. Overall, libertarianism is the most compelling view of free will because it allows for an orderly society (e.g., responsibility for one's actions is brought into being and, therefore, the moral code is upheld to avoid chaos), which is important for human survival, and this is therefore reflected in the way we already function as a race in almost all cultures. Without the libertarian framework it would be difficult for society as we know it to survive, and therefore libertarianism is essential to understanding free will..
