The fact that we occasionally experience ourselves as able to select anyone out of multiple options, and as not being compelled to choose one way rather than another, is sometimes appealed to in support of indeterminism.

True or False?

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fundamental premise of indeterminism is that events are not predetermined and are subject to a chance. This philosophical concept is closely related to the idea of a free will.

For example, Jenifer goes to a field trip to another city and meets a guy there, the next day she comes back to the city she studies and goes to a party and meets another guy there. In a few days a new student joins her class and invites her out. Jenifer feels attracted to all of them. She is not compelled to choose one of three partners in any way and is free to make any of three choices. This situation would be indeterministic.
