responsibility
From its earliest beginnings, the problem of free will has been
intimately connected with the question of moral responsibility.
Most of the ancient thinkers on the problem were trying to show that
we humans have control over our decisions, that our actions depend
on us, and that they are not pre-determined by fate,
by arbitrary gods, by logical necessity, or by a natural causal Almost
everything written about free will to date has been verbal and formal
logical debate about the precise meaning of philosophical concepts Other Exams

The problem of free will is ofen described as a question of UPSC(IAS) Civil Services Exam

They are not in this case whollyuncaused.

The libertarian argues that such a view is essential tomoral

responsibility. For no one is responsible for an act unlesshe could
have done otherwise. If I am strapped to a roboticmachine which,
using my arms, robs a bank, I am not to blame forrobbing the bank. I
could not have done otherwise. Such is thelibertarian argument.
