free will and determinism
Free will refers to the belief that individuals have the ability to make choices and decisions independently, with their actions being driven by personal preferences and intentions. Determinism, on the other hand, posits that all events and actions are caused or determined by preceding factors, such as genetics, environment, or fate, leaving no room for autonomous decision-making.
