Philosophy of Action

The Philosophy of Action explores what it means to act, particularly regarding free will and determinism. It examines whether our actions are freely chosen or determined by prior causes. Free will suggests individuals can make choices independent of external influences, while determinism argues that every action is the result of preceding events and conditions. Deontic logic, a branch of logic, evaluates concepts like obligation, permission, and prohibition related to actions. Together, these areas address fundamental questions about moral responsibility, choice, and the nature of human behavior in a complex world.
