Socrates
PHILOSOPHY
‘Free will’ is the conventional name of a topic that is best discussed without reference to the will. The central questions in a discussion of 'Free Will' involves "What it is to act or to choose freely." and What it is to be morally responsible for one's actions." These two questions are closely connected, for freedom of action is necessary for moral responsibility, even if it is not sufficient.

What actions will you take, what mark will you make with your ability to make your own choices?
