The free will problem is a complex philosophical debate that seeks to answer a number of related questions, including whether or not free will exists, whether or not determinism is true, and what the relationship is between determinism and free will.

Determinism is the idea that every event is caused by a prior event. This means that there is a chain of causation that leads from the past to the present and that the future is determined by the past.

Free will is the idea that we have the ability to make choices that are not determined by prior events. This means that we have the ability to choose between different options, even if those options are not caused by anything that has happened in the past.

The argument from determinism is an argument against free will that states that if determinism is true, then free will cannot exist. This is because determinism implies that every event is caused by a prior event, which means that there is no room for free choice.

There are a number of different arguments for free will, including the argument from consciousness, the argument from moral responsibility, and the argument from libertarianism. The argument from consciousness states that free will is a necessary consequence of consciousness, while the argument from moral responsibility states that free will is necessary for moral responsibility. The argument from libertarianism states that free will is a fundamental property of human beings.

The compatibilist view of free will is the view that free will is compatible with determinism. This means that it is possible for us to have free will even if our choices are determined by prior events.

The incompatibilist view of free will is the view that free will is incompatible with determinism. This means that it is not possible for us to have free will if our choices are determined by prior events.

The argument from moral responsibility is the argument that free will is necessary for moral responsibility. This is because if we do not have free will, then we cannot be held morally responsible for our actions.

The argument from luck is the argument that free will is incompatible with luck. This is because if our choices are determined by luck, then they cannot be truly free.

The argument from ignorance is the argument that free will is incompatible with ignorance. This is because if we do not know all of the factors that determine our choices, then we cannot be said to have truly free will.

The argument from consciousness is the argument that free will is a necessary consequence of consciousness. This is because consciousness is the ability to reflect on our own thoughts and actions, and this ability is necessary for us to have free will.

The argument from libertarianism is the argument that free will is a fundamental property of human beings. This means that we have free will simply because we are human beings.

The hard problem of consciousness is the problem of how consciousness arises from physical matter. This is a difficult problem to solve because consciousness is a subjective experience, while physical matter is objective.

The easy problem of consciousness is the problem of how consciousness can interact with the physical world. This is a relatively easy problem to solve because there are a number of ways that consciousness could interact with the physical world.

The free will problem is a subset of the hard problem of consciousness because the free will problem is concerned with the relationship between consciousness and free will. The hard problem of consciousness is concerned with the relationship between consciousness and physical matter. Since consciousness is a necessary condition for free will, the free will problem is a subset of the hard problem of consciousness.
