Answer to Question 1

Indeterminism holds that your choices, or at least some of your choices, are random and so free. Libertarians are convinced that people are able to make genuinely free choices by exercising their free wills. In practical usage, both views are often included under the general category of Indeterminism.

Answer to Question 2

Schlick agrees with mainstream compatibilists that freedom means the opposite of compulsion: People are free if they do not act under compulsion, and they are compelled or unfree when they are inhibited from without in the realization of their natural desires.
- However, Schlick contends, the feeling of freedom does not say that under exactly the same inner and outer condition we could have willed something else.
- As a result, Schlick's views in this regard accord with determinism, which holds that all human actions are brought about by previous events in accordance with universal causal laws.
- The feeling of responsibility assumes that I acted freely, that my desires impelled me.
