"If you want to assume free will then you have to abandon the idea of a pre-determined future. " What about compatibilism?TKoL– TKoL2024-05-01 06:50:18 +00:00Commented May 1, 2024 at 6:50

That's irrelevant to my starting assumption about the future being predetermined. If it is then by definition future decisions are predetermined.Professor Sushing– Professor Sushing2024-05-01 07:41:51 +00:00Commented May 1, 2024 at 7:41

Yes, and even if they're determined, they could still be free if compatibilism is the case, right?TKoL– TKoL2024-05-01 09:30:22 +00:00Commented May 1, 2024 at 9:30

No, you have changed the subject. Your compatibilist definition of free will is not the same as my definition of free will. I have made a point about apples and you have said 'but what about bananas?'Professor Sushing– Professor Sushing2024-05-01 09:51:54 +00:00Commented May 1, 2024 at 9:51

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. philosophy-of-science), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
