== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Determinism''' β The view that "Every Event" (including human choices) is "Inevitably Caused" by "Prior Events" and the "Laws of Nature." * '''Free Will''' β The "Capacity" to "Choose" between different "Possible Courses of Action" unimpeded. * '''Hard Determinism''' β The view that "Determinism is True" and therefore "Free Will is Impossible." * '''Libertarianism''' (Philosophy) β The view that "Free Will is True" and therefore "Determinism is False" (at least for humans). * '''Compatibilism''' β The view that "Free Will and Determinism" can **Both** be true at the same time (e.g., 'I am free if I am not forced, even if my atoms are determined'). * '''Incompatibilism''' β The view that you **Must Choose** one: either the world is determined, or we have free will. You can't have both. * '''The Principle of Alternate Possibilities (PAP)''' β The idea that "To be Free," you "Must have been able to do otherwise" (e.g., 'I could have chosen X'). * '''Fatalism''' β The belief that "The Future is Fixed" regardless of what we do (Different from determinism, which says our 'doing' is part of the 'fixing'). * '''Quantum Indeterminacy''' β The idea from "Physics" (see Article 121) that some "Subatomic Events" are "Truly Random," which some use to "Save Free Will." * '''Moral Responsibility''' β (See Article 533). The idea that we can "Praise or Blame" people for their actions. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
