ABSTRACT

The question concerning freedom divides into several questions, i.e. there are yet other senses in which the will might be free. However, some of these can be dealt with quickly, as they were already mentioned in connection with the dispute over indeterminism. The matter arose because the indeterminists confused some cases of genuine freedom with their imaginary ones. In order to refute their claims, we had to call attention to the distinctions they overlooked. None the less, let us deal explicitly with those three remaining meanings of free will that are most important.
