What is the central tenet of libertarianism in the context of free will?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
The belief that free will is incompatible with determinism.
💡 Explanation:
Libertarians argue that if determinism is true, then our actions are predetermined and we have no real choice in the matter. This would mean that we are not morally responsible for our actions, which libertarians find unacceptable.
