I will strive to evaluate different discernments of what will is‚ and if it is truly free. Then apply it to his argument. But first let me explain Descartes’ argument on the causation of errors.

incompatibility. Libertarians believe in free will and recognize that freedom and determinism are incompatible. The determinist also follow the doctrine of incompatibility‚ and according to Chisholm’s formulation‚ their view is that every event involved in an act is caused by some other event.

On Free Choice of the Will By Saint Augustine Questions to be addressed: Would a good God let bad things happen? Why does man choose to do evil? For many people‚ nothing drives them away from Religion like pushy‚ preachy people. I don’t feel that I am knowledgeable enough to argue many points when it comes to religion.
