To have free will with respect to an act is to have the ability both to perform        and to refrain from performing it. In this book, Ishtiyaque Haji argues that no one        can have practical reasons of a certain sort -- "e;objective reasons"e; -- to perform        some act unless one has free will regarding that act. It follows that we cannot have        objective reasons to perform an act unless we could have done otherwise. This is        reason's debt to freedom. Haji argues, further, for the thesis that various things        we value, such as moral and prudential obligation, intrinsic value, and a range of        moral sentiments that figure centrally in interpersonal relationships, presuppose        our having free will. They do so because each of these things essentially requires        that we have objective reasons, the having of which, in turn, demands that we have        alternatives. Finally, Haji distinguishes between two sorts of alternatives, strong        or incompatibilist alternatives and weak or compatibilist alternatives. Assuming, on        the one hand, that obligation and some of the other things we value require strong        alternatives, he concludes that determinism precludes these things because        determinism expunges strong alternatives. If, on the other hand, they require only        weak alternatives, a chief compatibilist agenda of establishing the compatibility of        these things with determinism without appeal to alternatives of any kind -- the        semi-compatibilist's agenda -- is jeopardized.
