ABSTRACT
The problem of freedom and determinism in philosophy may be formulated in different ways but one of them is this: If we are free then what we do is the outcome of our choices and we could refrain from doing what we do and do something else. If we are determined then all our actions are caused and, if caused events are inevitable, then we cannot do other than what we do and our freedom is illusionary. Prima facie, freedom and determinism are mutually inconsistent theories, so at most one of them is true and at least one of them is false. The problem of freedom and determinism is stating correctly whether human actions are free or determined.
