| Oct 25, 2023 at 0:11 | comment | added | armand | What you are asking about is libertarian free will, the idea that we can somehow make decisions independently of the laws of physics. This is not the definition of free will knowledgeable people go with, as conifold said. In the context of libertarian free will, though, you are onto something: determinism is irrelevant as the real hard problem of libertarian free will is not if we could have acted otherwise that we did, but how does our "will" (whatever that is...) modify causality in order to inform our body's actions. | |
| Oct 24, 2023 at 23:24 | comment | added | Conifold | The view that determinism is incompatible with free will is called hard determinism. The majority position is compatibilism, the opposite view. "If our actions are probabilistic, then we do not have free will" does not follow even if free will requires us to be able to choose between alternatives. We may be able to so choose, but also have what is called "propensities" to choose a certain way, which lead to a probabilistic distribution of choices in the long run. | |

| Oct 24, 2023 at 18:05 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | Determinism is a broad concept: thus it is hard to say that it is a true theory or not. Free will exists. | |
