Abstract: The advancement of human civilization has been occurred due to intellectual desire of human beings and self- inquiry created in our minds from this curiosity. Thus the questions arise, what is free will? Do we have any free will in the actions that we performed in our daily life? Is free will always accepted in moral judgment? And so on, in Indian and Western philosophy, various philosophers explain free will in psychological perspective, where free will is accepted or rejected as a criterion for moral judgment? However, various philosophical problems arise in connection with the questions between free will and moral judgment. We observed in Kantian ethics, he accepts free will as a fundamental postulate of morality. In this context, he stated that if there is no completely freedom in the performance of an action, then that action cannot the subject to normal judgment. A person becomes truly free, only when he is guided by his own judgment and wisdom and he performs a voluntary action without being controlled by another person. We observe that, free will is accepted in Indian philosophy and many western thinkers like Aristotle, Locke, Berkeley, Leibniz, Plato, Descartes, and Epictetus accept free will of moral judgement. However, none of them accepted free will to mean arbitrariness. Free will is controlled by inner power not by external forces. Form a Psychological perspective, we cannot declare any individual person is good or bad, if that person does not perform any action by freely or voluntary. They said, every man is an individual entity. Every individual person works to fulfil their own needs, desires and self satisfaction. People can choose one option from among various alternatives, because the cognitive process works in decision making. Hence, from the perception of philosophers, it seems, if we deny free will in our daily life then moral judgement will not be possible and we will not be able to distinguish between good and evil. Many thinkers accepted free will from their own perspective, but it cannot always be accepted in our daily life. If we accept free will with their perspective, then we cannot establish Karmavada and authority of God or Parramatta or supreme self or absolute soul.
Keywords: Free will, Moral judgment, Fundamental postulated of morality, Karmavada, Janmantarabada or Rebirth, Moksha, Perspective of Indian philosophy, Perspective of Western philosophy.
