Free will debate

              The free will debate is an argument between two sides, one being libertarianism and the other being hard determinism. Libertarianism is the thought that we have the ability to control our own paths in life and can make choices that will impact us differently, believing they have free will. Determinism has a view that is the opposite. They believe that humans lack free will and the ability to control the path of their life. This view says that your future will come from early psychology or physical events.
             I believe that the view of libertarianism is the more accurate of the two. This is because throughout the course of your life you will always be faced with decisions that can change the course of it. If your life had a set course you wouldnt be faced with the life changing decisions that we as humans are everyday. The view of determinism says that everything is set out in your life. If this is true then why are we able to control our futures and mold our own lives by the choices we make.
             Explanatory breadth- The view of hard determinism does not tell us about human life and the choices we are forced to make and the many paths we can take. Libertarianism explains the many behaviors and how people act rather then the determinist view that comes from a psychological standpoint. 
            Explanatory depth- The explanation that libertarianism offers is that we as humans have different behaviors and actions that impact our future. Determinism doesnt explain how we act but says that our life is planned out for us. This view doesnt give us a specific answer about our behaviors and is very vague.
            Simplicity- Hard determinism has the more simplistic view because it says the all our lives are pre-planned for us. On the other hand Liberatarianism says that our choices in life will shape it and the actions we take are random. 
            Conservatism- Today libertarianism is the more commonly believed view of the two. Humans believe that the have the options in life and choices to create their own life rather then have it be predetermined.

1. Libertarianism and hard determinism are the most plausible explanations of Free will.

2.Libertarianism has much more explanatory depth and conservatism, whereas Determinism has more explanatory breadth, and more simplicity.3. Therefore, Libertarianism is the best explanation of Free Will
