Free will vs Determinism

soft determinism

all events, including human behaviour have causes, but behaviour can also be determined by our conscious choices in the absence of coercion

determinism

the view that an individuals behaviour is shaped and controlled by internal or external forces rather than an individuals will to do something

environmental determinism

the belief that behaviour is caused by features of the environment such as systems of reward and punishment that we cannot control

biological determinism

the belief that behaviour is caused by biological influences like genetics, hormones and evolution that we cannot control

hard determinism

implies that free will is not possible as our behaviour is always caused by internal and external events beyond our control
