Across

• 1. Tried to resolve debate between determinism and freewill by distinguishing between what he called phenomenal (world as it appears to us, created by our minds) and noumenal realms ('real' world which we cannot know or experience directly) (8, 4)
• 4. Libertarians would argue against HUme's and Locke's views of Freewill. They argue that if human actions are determined then Freewill is a mirage. It is Determinism by the Situation. (9)
• 5. Determinism is illusion within phenomenal realm in which we are bound by laws of nature. (8, 4)
• 7. Freedom like this means that we are no different to hands moving on a clock - in a mechanical sense (an internal cause). If our will is determined itself by natural causes then we are no more accountable for our actions. (5, 10)
• 8. We are no more than puppets or robots if our Will itself is determined by internal causes as Hume suggests. (5, 10)
