Summary

This quote suggests that if one denies that people have free will, then morality becomes unachievable. In other words, if individuals are not believed to have the ability to make choices and act freely, then they cannot be held responsible for their actions, making it difficult to establish moral standards or judgments. The quote emphasizes the inherent link between the concept of free will and the fundamental principles of morality.
