Free Will Thesis

In the article, The Problem of Free Will, one of the first issues addressed is Walter Stace’s opinion with the problem of free will. First off, the Free Will Thesis states that some of the actions that humans perform are free actions. An action is only a free action if the agent could have done otherwise than perform the action. That is, being able to do otherwise is a requirement for a free action. Stace says that if there is no free will, there can be no morality. ...
Stace tries to reconcile the Free Will Thesis with determinism. ... Stace says that the problem with free will was created by the fact that “learned men”, especially philosophers, have assumed an incorrect definition of free will, and then finding that there is nothing in the world which answers to their definition, have denied its existence.
