I don't think so.
The paradox is only apparent.
Because there is no need for determinism to deny free will.

It is enough to approach the question from an ethical point of view.

It is not for nothing that Christian mysticism denies the existence of free will.
On the other hand, even the law of cause and effect is questionable.
Ok!

1. IF p THEN we possess free will
2. p
Ergo,
3. We possess free will.
