The work delves into complex themes such as freedom, determinism, and responsibility, aiming to clarify the often-confused concepts surrounding free will and determinism. Molina examines these philosophical debates in relation to human action, social constructs, and individual responsibility, setting the stage for a nuanced exploration of how these ideas influence personal and societal dynamics. The opening of the essay presents a thorough introduction to the long-standing debate between determinism and free will, acknowledging that misconceptions have clouded understanding in this area. Molina suggests that true clarity on the distinctions between different types of freedom—specifically empirical freedom and the philosophical notion of absolute free will—is essential for a meaningful discussion. He articulates that while people often consider themselves free, their actions are significantly influenced by deterministic factors, such as social, environmental, and psychological forces, leading to a more complicated view of autonomy and accountability. Throughout, Molina indicates that these complexities will be thoroughly examined in subsequent sections of the work.
