The theory of Three Worlds based on the indeterminism is the ontological presumption of Popper's philosophy, and the establishment of Popper's idea about indeterminism resorts to the belief in Human freedom. The indeterminism is the prerequisite of Human's intuitive free belief, the "introduction of Human freedom" , rather than what Popper thought as the truth.Two controversial problems were concealed behind of the undoubtedly logical inference: (1) the relationship between science, especially the classical physics, and determinism; (2) the relationship among determinism, indeterminism and Human freedom.Based on telling the difference from metaphysical indeterminism to "scientific" indeterminism, Popper refuted the idea that "human science contains indeterminism" so as to make the determinists maintain their determinism only on the level of belief, which makes it possible that free will exists. However, Both determinism and full-determinism can't resolve the problem of moral responsibility. Popper's theory of Three Worlds provides a new way to settle it. According to this theory, possessing of world 3 is human's nature, and the true meaning of free will, which is not only the premise that ethical problems emerge, but also the premise that ethical problems can be resolved.
