free will
In philosophy, a faculty that human beings are alleged to require in order to be able to make moral choices. Philosophical theories in which humans are assumed to have free will formally conflict with those in which human actions are considered to be determined by causes (see causality) beyond our control. However, the choice between theories of free will and determinism may admit of other, intermediate theories.
