The way freedom is usually formulated, in the notion of free will or free choices.
This is frustrating: I think I can argue against the standard argument of he incoherence of FW...but you haven't given it...or any other,
To make sure I'm getting this right: is this the school of anti-freedom where the notion of moral responsibility is also deemed incoherent?
I would also consider the notion of moral responsibility incoherent. It's not obvious to me that these positions have a common basis.
The latter derives from the former:
If my actions are spontaneous and uncaused, I'm not responsible for them.
If my actions are mechanically determined by atoms in my brain, I'm not responsible for them.
