Title: Free Will and Moral Necessity in Mendelssohn
Abstract: In the recent debates on free will one distinguishes between compatibilism and incompatibilism. Compatibilists think that there is no contradiction between determinism and free will, which means that we can consider the statements “All action is determined” and “We have a free will” as being both together true. All incompatibilists share the opinion, that there is a contradiction between determinism and free will, and that therefore a determinist must refuse free will or a believer in free will must refuse determinism. That’s why incompatibilism comes in two opposite versions: Determinism or Libertarianism (as the incompatibilistic believe in free will is called nowadays).
