ABSTRACT
As one would expect for a gure whose primary period of philosophical activity was the rst third of the nineteenth century, Hegel’s views cannot be immediately identi- ed with positions in our own contemporary debate on free will without substantial risk of anachronism. In fact, one way of beginning to come to terms with Hegel’s views on free will is to see him as offering a neglected alternative to the array of positions in the eld that has developed in Anglophone philosophy since the mid-twentieth century.
