Do we really have free will?

Introduction

Free will can be determined as the ability or power to choose, which can include making free choices that are unconstrained by external circumstances, Descartes identifies the faculty of will with freedom of choice, "the ability to do or not do something" and even goes so far as to state that "the will is by its nature so free that it can never be constrained". On this level it is often the common and everyday assumption that we all possess free will, and there is no argument. However the varying schools of thought (determinist, indeterminist) hold contrasting theories regarding how we can attempt to explain the possession, or the absence, of free choice. This is where the dilemma concerning free will takes place (Harris, 46-47).

Discussion

The concept of freedom of will, free will, always comes up regularly, whenever we think or talk about our consciousness, as it may sometimes seems to some people as free will is linked to the consciousness. For example, it might seem as we have freedom of will only if the consciousness impacts the physical world. Theory of free will has very effectively explained that how the concept of free will has worked in normal objective language, how some of the actions and activities can be based on our free will and other cannot. On the other hand, it also differentiates the concept from the question of determinism, consciousness and Divine Omniscience.

Thus, free will is seen as any action that is free from external coercion. If you give your entire money passerby on the street, it can be seen as a sign of generosity, but in that case, if you keep a gun under the gun. Both actions are determined, but if the first is an act of free will, then the second - an act of coercion. Arguments in favor of free will remain the main argument related to the idea of moral responsibility (Mackie, 26). We must dispose of their actions, to be able to take responsibility for them. Such humanistic approaches such as psychotherapy, centered on the patient, based on the premise of free will. The therapist helps the patient to use free will in such a way as to dispose of their own free will with the utmost efficiency. The arguments against free will set the belief in free will is not consistent with scientific ideas, i.e., every event must have a cause. There is considerable uncertainty in the very concept of free will.

The subject of free will tends to target the root of our concept about the nature of human beings and how humans relate to the natural laws and the universe. Are we totally described in terms of deterministic nature of the physical law? Crucial fates imposed by different theories paradoxically have produced a related end-effect. In both the cases, humans will be fundamentally complicated machines, with our conscious intentions and feelings directed on with no fundamental power. Or are we independent in taking actions and ...
