At the risk of multiplying "-isms," I coined the two terms ''compatibilism'' and ''incompatibilism'' primarily so that references, books, and external links could be marked WRT their general position. --[[User:Basil|Basil]] 19:23, March 14, 2006 (CST)

OK. Now I've done it. I added a link to my own article on the subject. If there's an issue here, let me know and I'll deep-six it. --Basil 17:24, March 14, 2006 (CST)

Compatibilism/Incompatibilism

At the risk of multiplying "-isms," I appropriated the two terms compatibilism and incompatibilism primarily so that references, books, and external links could be marked WRT their general position in the current debate. In philosophy, these terms denote positions WRT to the free will debate: IOW, whether free will is compatible with determinism or not. See Compatibilism and Incompatibilism on Wikipedia. --Basil 19:33, March 14, 2006 (CST)
