ABSTRACT

As we saw in Chapter 1, incompatibilists argue that free will is incompatible with determinism because the latter conflicts with two conditions that they believe are necessary for the former: the ability to do otherwise and ultimate self-causation. And compatibilists argue that free will is incompatible with indeterminism because indeterminism is not self-determinism and therefore an undetermined choice or action is not a self-determined choice or action.
