What is free will?
Free will is the ability to make choices that aren't constrained by certain factors. The will is the part of a person's 'mind' which makes decisions based on multiple choices of actions. Choice here, is based on reasoning and evaluation.
And determinism?
Determinism is the belief that a determinate/precisely defined set of conditions can only produce one possible outcome given the fixed laws of nature.
Determinist Claims
Universal Causation - Every event has a cause
Causal Necessity - The same cause will operate in the same way if repeated
Reductive Physicalism - Our nature is strictly physical and can be described and understood by science
