Dear Bruno, compatibilist free-will is defined as "without coercion". Metaphisical
(non-compatibilist) free-will is a property or ability people claim to have when making
decisions (i.e. they are so absolutely free that even natural law does not coerce them).
Compatibilist free-will is NOT something people have, since it is defined by the
external situation to the agent (i.e. the agent is not externally constrained).
That seems like a strange conception of what it means "to have". I have a motorcycle.
The fact that it is external and is mine because I paid for it and it is registered in my
name doesn't negate my having it.
