Answer 1

Answer:

c) has been waged since the days of the ancient Greeks

Explanation:

The debate of free will and determinism has been fought since the days of the ancient Greeks and arose because of an apparent contradiction between two plausible ideas. The first is the idea that humans are free to do or not to do what they want (obviously, within certain limits - no one believes we can fly just because we want to). This is the idea that human beings have free will - or free will. The second is the idea that everything that happens in this universe is caused or determined by previous events or circumstances. Those who accept this idea are said to believe in the principle of determinism and call them determinists. (Of those who deny this second idea they are said to be indeterminist.)
