Abstract

Free Will : Hard Incompatibalism And Its Problems saied sabaghy pour Abstract According to hard incompatibalism if determinism is true then what a human agency does is an effect of previous events and therefore he is are not responsible for his actions. On the other hand, if indeterminism is true, meaning certain events occur by accident or luck, again the agent is not responsible for what he has done. Derk Pereboom has a special account of free will and by criticizing contemporary libertarianism and compatibalism, and defending for hard incompatibalism, claims humans are not responsible for their actions, they don’t have free will and they can live without it. In this paper after reviewing the main routes of contemporary accounts of free will, pereboom’s hard incompatibalism will be explained and we will raise some objections to his account. Keywords: free will, moral responsibility, incompatibalism, determinism, indeterminism, compatibalism, libertarianism, morality, hard incompatibalism, four-case argumant
