Honderich 2). Honderich maintains that we care morally about both the compatibilist’s and incompatibilist’s conception of freedom. Is it possible to be both a compatibilist and an incompatibilist' Explain your answer. In order to determine if it is possible to be both an incompatibilist and a compatibilist, one must first define the two terms. Incompatibilism is the thesis that if determinism is true, then (for that reason) one has no free will. That is, an incompatibilist is someone who thinks that whether or not we have free will depends on a contingent fact about the laws that govern the universe: one has free will only if he is lucky enough to be living in a universe which is non-deterministic. Though incompatibilism is divided in two subgroups (hard determinists and liberatarians), all incompatibilists agree that a necessary condition of free will is that determinism is false. Compatibilism, on the other hand, is the thesis that one free, one, incompatibilist, determinism, compatibilist, worlds, both, someone, possible, incompatibilists, incompatibilism, universe, two, truth, true, thesis, non-deterministic, lack, given, fact, compatibilists, believe, about, whether, views, vice, versa, turned, though, thinks, terms, subgroups, role, revolutionary, revolutionaries
