Determinism, Compatibilism, and Libertarianism all have their personal values and reasons though strikingly different to one another we can still see the logic behind each one’s concepts. They are all individual schools which have individual values and implications. All three schools share one similarity, they are nearly impossible to declare as false; How can you prove or disprove those laws which ascribe reason and logic?
Determinism brings credibility from several aspects, whether it be the DNA which codes our biological composition, the divine being, or law that dictates our values and decisions, it says if the variables are put in place thus are decisions follow suit and are then decided for us. “It has been argued that in a deterministic universe, no one has any reason to do anything.” (Jeppsson, S. 2016.), This is a major plight to determinism; determinism and nihilism run in tandem.
Libertarianism finds its value in the ability of choice; this ability is empowering man to decide “his” life. Choice is the key notion which is hard to prove yet hard to disprove, yes, choice is subject to bias and predisposition yet is it decided for you? A follower of libertarianism would say no, that choice is immune and ultimately up the beholder.

“Our codes of ethics, for example, assume that we can freely choose between right and wrong.” (CAVE, S. 2016), This shows as an example of how ethics and choice are completely apparent within indeterminism, free will, or libertarianism. The significant role of free will is the responsibility that follows suit, if all actions were predetermined then morality would either not exist or be defined differently than people understood. Morality has room within libertarianism due to the ability to condemn or praise “decision” which otherwise is not able under
