Question

open-ended question
what does libertarian free will allow that determinism does not?
this means that the people cant speak for themselves

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Libertarian free will posits that humans have genuine, undetermined choice-making power, where agents can select from multiple possible courses of action independent of prior causal factors. Determinism holds that all events (including human actions) are entirely caused by prior events and natural laws, leaving no room for alternative choices. The key difference is the ability to make truly unconstrained, non-predetermined choices.

Answer:

Libertarian free will allows for genuine, undetermined alternative choices (where an agent could have acted differently in the exact same circumstances), which determinism does not permit—since determinism holds all actions are fixed by prior causal factors and natural laws, leaving no room for truly independent, unforced choice.
