Difference_Between_Libertarianists_And_Determinists

Difference Between Libertarianists And Determinists In this paper I will examine the differences in the beliefs of libertarianists and determinists. A libertarianist believes that one can decide one's own fate, while a determinist believes that all of our actions are pre determined for us. I will explain why determinism has more of a scientific backbone than libertarianism and why the idea of every event having a cause behind it is more feasible. I will show how these two sides will react to this specific question. If there is a machine that can predict what I will do in the immediate future, and it tells me that I am about to sit and write my philosophy paper, is it possible for me to do anything else' Am I able to deliberate my actions and throw causality to the wind' Many would argue by nature that I could easily do something besides write the paper. The more popular belief is that people are in charge of their own futures and decisions and that is what people want to believe. Libertarians believe this and offer facts to persuade those unsure.
