Thanks, actually this is a theory Dennett propose
Since if determinism is right, then man are not the cause of their actions, which dont have to take responsibility for what they did
if responsiblity theory is right, man are the cause of their actions, but there remains another problem, what cause their thoughts.
Dennett says you cant distinguish the difference between a programmed random number generator and a natural (human like) random number generator. So he says, Freedom of human is the thought that they think they are free. Actually, human's fate is determined, but they still think they are free, so they are willing to take repsonsibility for what they did. And This solves the responsiblity problem perfectly lol
Thanks , anyway~
