The need to explore free will arises from continuous reflection and discussion about the nature of human existence and the ability of humans to make free decisions. This need is compounded by ambiguity in views and approaches to this concept and its meaning for various aspects of life. The examination of free will becomes relevant due to the need to understand the causes of actions, moral responsibility, and the possibilities of human influence on the world. This study was devoted to the disclosure of key aspects of free will through the analysis of historical and modern theories. In the course of the study, a literary analysis was involved, which included work with papers on related subjects. The conceptual analysis allowed defining and understanding the main concepts and terms of the subject under study. Comparative analysis was applied to the papers of other researchers who worked on the same or similar subjects to identify similarities and differences and determine prospects for future research in this area. The study shows that there are two main directions in this discussion: determinists believe that all events, including human actions, are predetermined, and compatibilists state that free will is compatible with determinism. The study provides a detailed analysis of deterministic and compatibilist concepts of free will. Arguments for and against free will, which indicate the influence of external factors on human choice, are considered. Through the analysis of historical and modern theories, the examination of various concepts and argumentation, this study identifies the main approaches to the interpretation of the concept of free will in the context of philosophical thought. The main results indicate the complexity and versatility of the concept of free will and the importance of considering various factors that influence human choice

“…For example, Aristotle argued that people have free will, but it is limited by natural laws (Aristotle, 2021). Rene Descartes believed that free will is an essential characteristic of human nature as described by F. Svensson (2020), and David Hume argued that free will is an illusion P. Russel (2021). As described by U. Abaci (2022), Immanuel Kant believed that free will is the ability of a person to choose morally justified actions based on their reason and moral principles, and not in the absence of any restrictions.…”

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the connection of the topic of slavery in the modern world with social rules, because it helps to understand the challenges and problems associated with racism, inequality, and social justice. In this regard, the purpose of the study was to explore the development of economic, cultural, and social life in the Atlantic region during the spread and after the abolition of slavery. The leading methods of investigating this problem are cultural and historical analysis, comparison, classification, synthesis, historical approach, deduction, and generalisation of results. The paper shows the content and functions of slavery; analyses the historical trends in the development of the slave trade, identifies its main factors; demonstrates the findings of modern historians and economists who considered aspects of changing views on slavery in different periods, dominant motives, features, nature and dynamics of the development of discriminatory attitudes in the Atlantic region; describes how slavery took root in America at the earliest stages of the European conquest; traces its characteristics, the origin of various systems, working conditions and exploitation; reveals changes in views on slavery as a negative way of building society; shows the interweaving of Atlantic slavery, the production of knowledge and colonisation, which influenced the development of the modern world; revealed a fair future through alternative anthropology solving complex issues and paying reparations; analysed in detail the development and changes in the economy, trade, social relations, and culture during the development of the slave trade; diagnosed that the cessation and eradication of slavery significantly affected the progress in the economic and cultural life of the United States and completed the period of expansion. The materials of the study are of scientific value for historians, economists, culturologists, and linguists who will be able to deepen research on the economic and cultural consequences of slavery, its impact on economic development, trade, literature, and art

“…Plato (428-427 B.C) elaborated three conceptions of freedom, namely utility, fulfillment, and contribution [2]. Descartes (1596-1650) asserted that freedom is essential assets of will [3]. For him freedom of an individual leads to the freedom in action of doing things in appropriate ways [4].…”
