Subscriber: Massachusetts Institute of Technology %28MIT%29; date: 27 June 2013 Smilansky's second thesis, Illusionism, is even more radical. In contrast to Pereboom (and also to Honderich, whose essay follows), Smilansky thinks the consequences for humanity of widespread belief that we lack libertarian free will would be dire and destructive.
What is interesting about this kernel is that it amounts to a rejection of both compatibilism and libertarianism. For, anyone who accepts thesis 1 holds against compatibilists that free will is incompatible with determinism; and anyone who also accepts thesis 2 holds against libertarians that there is no free will of the libertarian or incompatibilist kind. In short, those who hold this kernel are skeptics about free will, rejecting both compatibilist and libertarian solutions to the free-will problem.
It was not incompatibilist). They would, in effect, revise their view of free will in a compatibilist direction, rather than denying free will altogether. Such a revisionist compatibilism would obviously differ from both hard determinism and libertarianism. But, less obviously, it would also differ from ordinary compatibilist views. For compatibilists have traditionally argued that incompatibilist intuitions about free will (whether of hard incompatibilists or libertarians) are confused and misguided and that careful analysis of our ordinary notions of freedom and responsibility will show this.
