Between Freedom and Determinsm
Libertarians think the will is free when a choice can be made that is not determined or necessitated by prior events. The will is free when alternative choices could have been made with the same pre-existing conditions. Freedom of the will allows us to say, "I could have chosen (and done) otherwise." In a deterministic world, everything that happens follows ineluctably from natural or divine laws. There is but one possible future.
