Ideas •   Free will : the ability to make free, unhindered choices. •   Determinism : the idea that all actions are governed by laws outside of our control. •   Hard determinism : the teaching that denies that humanity has free will and believes that all actions have   a prior cause. It removes moral responsibility for actions. •   Libertarianism (incompatibilism) : this theory claims that we are morally responsible for all our actions   and are free to make choices. •   Soft determinism (compatibilism) : the teaching that says we can be both determined and free, as some of our moral choices are free but aspects of our nature are determined.
