Freedom and Determinism Libertarianism: Part 2

Libertarianism

Simple Libertarianism An event is undetermined iff the past, together with the laws of nature, does not determine whether or not it will occur. Simple Libertarianism: (i) There are some undetermined events and (ii) an action is free iff it is undetermined. Objection: The randomness worry

Volitional Libertarianism Volitional Libertarianism: (i) There are some undetermined events and (ii) an action is free iff it is an undetermined choice (or it is caused by an undetermined choice). Objection: The revised randomness worry

Rational Libertarianism Rational Libertarianism: (i) There are some undetermined events and (ii) an action is free iff it is an undetermined choice that results from a deliberative process (or it is caused by such a choice). Objection: ???

The Libertarian Dilemma Libertarianism: Determinism is false (and an action is free only if it is undetermined). The Control Principle: An action is free only if it’s up to the agent. The Libertarian Dilemma: How can an action be undetermined when it’s determined by the agent?

Agent Causation

The Libertarian Theory of Agent Causation: (i) There are some undetermined events and (ii) an action is free iff it is an undetermined choice that is caused by the agent (or it is caused by such a choice). Objection: Philosophy vs. Science
