the ability to make choices about our own lives and that those choices are solely up to us

the future is fixed by the past
Indeterminism
the future is not fixed by the past
Compatibilism
freedom and determinism can coexist
Incompatibilism
freedom and determinism cannot coexist
Hard determinism

Fatalism
some events in the future can never be avoided
Compatibilist
claims the ability to act on different hypothetically possible desires is all that is required for freedom.
Problem
if we act with free will whenever an action is caused by our desires, the possibility arises that some of our desires that prompted an action are not identical with our will.
