Compatibilism

Notes

Compatibilism is the believe that we can coincide Determinism with free will. Perhaps it works on different levels, for example having a determined physical world for inanimate objects, but a free world for thinking beings.

The most common form of compatibilism is the "reasons view", according to it - you're not to blame for doing the wrong thing, but is responsible for doing the right thing because free will is the ability to follow the right reasons. Intention To follow the right reasons doesn't mean following them blindly, like a child that doesn't still because he was told not to. It requires introspection Critical Thinking, deep thinking and understanding what those reasons are and why they exist.

i.e good deeds won't come out of sticking with Defaults or acting mindlessly, but rather identifying the good in the world and making an active choice to pursue them Agency. Bad deeds however are often the result of forfeiting our will Objectivity, not necessarily because we want to do evil Hanlon's Razor, but just "forced to" by society, laziness or ignorance free will is knowledge .
