Incompatibilist (Nondeterministic) Theories of Free Will
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy ()
| Abstract |
To have free will is to have what it takes to act freely. When an agent acts freely—when she exercises her free will—what she does is up to her. A plurality of alternatives is open to her, and she determines which she pursues. When she does, she is an ultimate source or origin of her action. So runs a familiar conception of free will.
