“We must limit determinism …but not eliminate it as Libertarians mistakenly think necessary.”
Thanks to a reader for pointing this out:
“Most libertarians have been mind/body dualists who, following René Descartes, explained human freedom by a separate mind substance that somehow manages to act in the physical world. Some, especially Immanuel Kant, believed that our freedom only existed in a transcendental or noumenal world, leaving the physical world to be completely deterministic.“
