ARBITRIUM | FREE WILL
“Free will” is the ability of agents to make choices unimpeded. Impedances to choice that have been studied include: metaphysical constraints (such as logical, nomological, or theological determinism), and mental constraints (such as compulsions or phobias, neurological disorders, or genetic predispositions). The principle of free will has religious, legal, ethical, and scientific implications. For example, in the religious realm, free will implies that individual will and choices can coexist with an omnipotent, omniscient divinity that raises certain injunctions or moral obligations for man. In the law, it affects considerations of punishment and rehabilitation. In ethics, it may hold implications for whether individuals can be held morally accountable for their actions. In science, neuroscientific findings relating decisions to brain activity may suggest different ways of predicting human behaviour.
Physical constraints (such as chains or imprisonment) and social constraints (such as threat of punishment or censure) limit the ability to execute choices and, in some forms are relevant to free will, when they impact the ability to make (or even to imagine or to formulate) choices, as with undue influences like brainwashing or Pavlovian conditioning.
Though it is a commonly held intuition that we have free will, it has been widely debated throughout history not only whether we have free will, but also even how to define the concept of free will. How exactly must the 'will' be free, what exactly must the will be free from, in order for us to have free will?
