That is the standard objection and I (unusually) think it can be resisted. To say the least, if you are going to claim to have "the" answer", you have to thoroughly consider all the alternatives.
I'd think that, given that's the standard objection, and it includes the case of indeterminism, you'd want to say more than just that indeterminism saves libertarian free will.
More to the point - would you mind giving a definition of what it is that you mean by 'libertarian free will'? I've never heard it coherently stated.
"Free Will is defined as "the power or ability to rationally choose and consciously perform actions, at least some of which are not brought about necessarily and inevitably by external circumstances".
Oh. Well, that's fine then. I usually think of libertarian free will as including internal circumstances as well.
