The question of free will and moral responsibility is one of the oldest, most enduring, and most challenging in the history of philosophy. It has run through the entire history of Western philosophy, sparking widespread attention and discussion among philosophers, and holds a central position in contemporary Western philosophy. The reason for this is that the issue is closely tied to the circumstances and conditions of human life, making its exploration an important way for humans to achieve self-awareness and self-understanding. Currently, this issue has not received the attention it deserves in China. It is hoped that the publication of this work will inspire students and scholars in this field to develop an interest in it.
