The question of whether we should be responsible for our choices has long been debated. Through the analysis of liberalism and determinism, this paper argues that the ideas of "genetic factors and the external world determine our capacity and preferences" does not limit responsibility in reality but increases responsibility, and then discuss the reasons for this view. This discovery refreshes people's understanding of determinism.
