The notion of hard determinism is very attractive to me. I accept some genetic and psychological determinism .That the person I am this is the sum to total of everything which has gone before. That there is no such thing as free will.
So far so good . I don't want to get enmeshed in a debate about the freewill/determinism dichotomy. I simply have a question, which someone a lot smarter than I tried to explain to me ;
The person tried to explain to me that hard determinism (no free will) does not mean no moral responsibility . I can't get my head around that idea.
Could someone with some experience in matters metaphysical (apart from the whole god thing) please explain this to me? Speak as you would to a rather dim child.
