The taxonomy is importantly incomplete. Within the position here called "libertarianism," there is a crucial distinction between the view that there is a faculty called "free will" which is neither determined nor random (the Thomistic position, for example) and the view that indeterminism in the sense of randomness is, so to speak, free enough. The latter is the view of William James, who after all created the "hard" versus "soft" terminology this chart uses, but distinguishes his own position carefully and repeatedly from more spiritualistic renderings of free will. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Christofurio (talk • contribs).
- This image was made to directly reflect the text in the free will article. I am not an expert on these particular meta-philosophical, taxonomic issues, and am not sure how important an oversight this is, or whether this reflects a relatively subtle distinction within the libertarian camp. The real experts on this are User:Lacatosias and User:Bmorton3. You might want to bring this up on the discussion page for the free will article, and if the other editors there agree to incorporate your points into the text, I would be happy to create a revised version of the image reflecting the changes in the text.
