What is 자유의지?

자유의지 and 결정론 debate is tradition of philosophy for a long time. People have free will or their will is determined before their commitment? 자유의지(free will) is surely the core element of human thinking and behavior. If free will is lacking, it is so-called determined, the position to support argument is determinism (결정론)

The mainstream of this debate is compatiblism, which embrace these two opinions about free will. The life can be conditioned by some reason so free will is restricted some time, but ultimately free will can be maintained by volition and it would be possible that free will and determinism can be compatible element of human behavior. We can be free and determined in some difference of rates about it.

Sometimes, as Sartrean existentialism states, free will is collapsed by restriction of certain causes, political way it could be overcome when we recognize our inner power of autonomical choice, arisen by existence precedes of essence.

The daily sense of free will is such as the choice of what we eat at lunch, and which people to be friends. These trivial daily manner of free will is because we are alive, and social being as respecting others’s will.
