Abstract
You ask me to say a number, any number, and I say ‘127’. Have I answered freely?
“Of course”, says Hume: no‐one compelled me—the fact that my choice was necessitated is irrelevant.
“Yes”, says Leibniz: my choice was not necessitated—the fact that it was determined ( = ‘inclined') is not enough to make it unfree.
“No”, says Freud: my choice was determined—the fact that it was not necessitated is not enough to make it free.
The paper examines the interplay between these answers.
