Let us assume that human behavior is subject to natural laws. These are either deterministic or indeterministic. In both cases, the first impression is that our behavior is excused. For it seems as if, in the case of deterministic laws, we cannot behave differently than we actually do. In the case of indeterministic laws, it seems as if we ourselves are not the originators of this behavior, because how we behave depends on chance. There is a tension between the scientific characterization of the world on the one hand and the characterization of people who are responsible for their behaviour on the other. Andreas Hüttemann examines how the answer to the question of whether people are responsible for their behavior depends on what is meant by determinism, causality, natural law and (perhaps somewhat surprisingly) reduction.
