Abstract

This article studies one of the two current conceptions of free will i. e negative conception or the definition of free will to having Alternative Possibilities; and tries to assess and ascertain the validity of this historically popular conception, by exhausting all possible approvals and also its disapprovals. The investigations indicate that the disagreement on this issue causes philosophers to revolt against one another in the debate of free between the two camps of Compatibilist and incompatibilist. The dispute of these two groups begins with debating on the relation between negative free will and Determinism, and continues with the possibility of free will in a determined world and finally reaches its peak by posing two fundamental objections against each other: The harm-mind hypothesis of Determinism on side of Incompatibilists and Intelligibility challenge on side of Compatibilists. And thus confirming or rejecting of such conception at last depends on assessing these two objections. I conclude our assessment by rejecting the negative conception.
