determinism vs. indeterminism in ethics
Determinism vs. indeterminism in ethics refers to the debate on whether human actions and decisions are predetermined or guided by free will. Determinism asserts that our choices are entirely shaped by pre-existing factors such as genetics or environmental influences, leaving no room for true moral responsibility. Indeterminism, on the other hand, suggests that individuals possess free will and are capable of making autonomous ethical decisions that can shape their actions and outcomes.
