In this paper, the author intends to categorize and evaluate these criteria in the form of six titles, after determining what he means by the Free Will and Determinism. Having the ability and the absence of impediment, the ability of reflective self-evaluation, the ability of choosing according with the ones valuational system, the ability of understanding the true and good, having the guidance control, having proper history, are the criteria that have been discussed in this article.
