Free will: the ability to choose; the choice is not compelled by external factors and is ordered towards a deliberate end.
Our position: Human beings have the power of free will; but this power applies only when we believe that the motive of pleasure conflicts with the motive of moral goodness. In other cases, the power is still present but is not activated.
In the video, we elaborate on the position, then give 2 arguments for the existence of free will, then give 3 counter-arguments against free will and responses.
