Free Will[edit]

I disagree with the notion that Necessitarianism denies free will. I am not familiar with the concept but if it is not a historically held viewpoint of Necessitists, there is little reason to include such a thing.

On the recently added definitions[edit]

I think that they're a bit much, although I put them into the article myself. In the next day or two, I'll move them into Wiktionary and briefen the passages here by using links. The Tetrast (talk) 22:41, 17 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Edit to first line, with regards to the term " free choice"[edit]

I was intrigued to see that the term "free choice" had a link. When I found that link merely pointed to the "free will" page, I felt it more appropriate to then use that term, if that is indeed what was intended. The ideas of free "will" vs. free "choice" are not the same. While many will debate whether or not contra-causal "free will" exists, from my understanding, the idea of a "compatabilist" idea of free "choice" is more widely accepted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CasqueHead (talk • contribs) 20:33, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the context of Medieval philosophy...[edit]

... the term denotes the idea that God is bound by moral and ethical principles which, by implication, then either must be higher than God or in some sense identified with God. Both these latter ideas were viewed as anathema to the Christian notion of a personal god exercising divine will. I am of course well aware that this has hardly been a hot-button issue for the past 600 years, but still, this is meant to be an encyclopedia.137.205.101.81 (talk) 11:02, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
