Determinism in Philosophy: Hard Determinism, Soft Determinism, Libertarianism
This essay explores three major philosophical perspectives on human freedom and causality: hard determinism, soft determinism, and libertarianism. While hard determinism argues that all actions are determined by the past and denies free will, soft determinism seeks a middle ground, allowing limited freedom within causal structures. In contrast, libertarianism asserts that individuals possess genuine free will and the power to shape their future. The paper concludes that libertarianism offers the most compelling account of human agency.
