Original essay: https://nathanajacobs.substack.com/p/on-free-will Dr. Jacobs gives an overview on free will, responding to a listener's question about compatibilism and predestination. You’ll get the broad brushstrokes on various positions on free will, from hard determinism to libertarianism. while explaining why the Eastern Church Fathers rejected compatibilism in favor of libertarian free will.
