Clues

  • Believed in freewill and we make rational choices. Argued these were essential to make moral choices. (8, 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)
  • Liberty of Spontaneity is not a true understanding of freedom. 'It is moral Subterfuge' (5, 10)
  • We are no more than puppets or robots if our Will itself is determined by internal causes as Hume suggests. (5, 10)
