Sample Text
Advances in brain research and neurological sciences, which intensified in the West and especially in Germany in the 90s, have reignited the old debate between determinism and indeterminism, and therefore freedom of will. Hard determinists argue that freedom of will is an illusion and suggest giving up on criminal law based on fault and resorting to security measures instead. Indeterminists emphasize the normative feature of the legal order and do not delve into the empirical nature of freedom of will. Indeterminism tries to prevent not only the criminal law based on fault, but also the entire legal order from being shaken. Regardless of whether freedom of will is proven or not, it does not seem possible for us to give up freedom of will because there is no other institution that can replace this institution and undertake this function., In the west, particularly in Germany around 90s the advanced improvement in brain research and neurology, determinism and indeterminism caused the old debate in relation to the freedom of will to arise, as a result. Determinists argued and suggested that the freedom of will is an illusion, a law which tolerates criminal law based on fault instead of the security measures that should be applied. The highlight of the indeterministic rule of law does not seem to address the empirical nature of the freedom of will. Indeterminism is not only the law which tolerates criminal law based on fault, it completely destroys the principles of the entire legal order foundations. The function to make a decision of whether the freedom of will should be exercised or not in a specific situation could be appointed to a suitable institution, but due to the lack of such an institution in existence is therefore impossible.
