Compare and Contrast Theories of Freewill Compare and contrast the three leading theories of free will: (1) Libertarianism, (2) Hard determinism, (3) Compatabilism.
Be sure to correctly summarize each view, and then provide your own analysis of which of these views is closest to the truth. Philosophers who work on free will, moral responsibility, and related issues aim to take folk views on these issues seriously. It is possible that the best theory of free will or moral responsibility will sacrifice at least some widely shared intuitions. At minimum, to take the folk seriously is to be aware of the relation between one’s theory of free will and moral responsibility and relevant commonsense views, such that one is able to justify departures from common sense.
