The Problem of Free Will
Content: Under Determinism, two more positions conflict, Compatibilism and Incompatibilism. And under Indeterminism, Robert Kane in the Oxford Handbook of Free Will distinguishes three positions recently taken by Libertarians - Non-Causal, Agent-Causal, and Event-Causal . Instead of directly discussing models for free will, the debate is conducted indirectly. Is free will compatible with determinism? is a frequently asked question. Most philosophers answer yes and describe themselves as compatibilists. They call libertarians "incompatibilists." Is determinism true? is another frequent question. The answer, at least in the physical world, is now well known.
