He points out that free will and predictability are compatible with an example of expecting an honourable man to act honourably and how common sense would still dictate the man is choosing to act with honour. The idea of a separation between types of freedoms of choice is a recurring theme in the three schools of thought all of which generally accept the kind of freedom which Stace refers to as free will but is generally called the freedom of…

determinism take away an individual’s free will. Determinism got also be looked at as for every action one take there is a reaction that follow. I strongly disagree with the in compatibilism idea of had determinism. Therefore I am challenging the statement made earlier that “if determinism is true then free will does not exist” because it is an invalid statement that contradict itself. For the purpose of this argument we will use the universal definition of the word “Free Will”…

display the freedom of will? Are we truly free to make choices and act upon them? Freedom of the will, according to Frankfurt, is compatible with determinism; however, his inability to refute the possibility that second order desires may be predetermined allows for the conclusion that all humans truly do not possess freedom of the will and are only under the illusion that they do.
