Abstract
Two issues are raised with regard to Ted Honderich's A Theory of Determinism.

Second, it is argued that there is a substantive philosophical issue dividing compatibilists and incompatibilists on the question of whether persons possess free will, contrary to Honderich's contention that the compatibilist and incompatibilist differ only in responsive attitude
