En primer lugar esta la idea de que todo lo que sucede en este universo es causado, o determinado por los eventos o circunstancias anteriores (Determinismo). En segundo lugar, la idea de que los seres humanos tienen libertad de hacer o no hacer lo que quieran, sin estar causalmente determinados a hacerlo (Libertarismo). Por ultimo, defendere un tercer punto de vista que surge tratando de conciliar las dos ideas anteriores, el cual dice que el determinismo y el libertarismo no se contradicen, puesto que podemos ser considerados moralmente responsables de nuestras elecciones libres a pesar de que sean determinadas (Compatibilismo).

Despite the antiquity of this compatibilist theme two important recent defenses of libertarianism, Peter van Inwagen's A n Essay on Free Willand Robert Kane's Free Will and Values, are not daunted by this objection. In this paper I argue that these accounts leave little or no room for the reasonability of libertarian freechoices. 1 begin with theaccounts of van lnwagen and Kaneand then show how the compatibilist theme counts against each.

Compatibilists think that determinism is compatible with moral responsibility and the concomitant notions, while incompatibilists think that it is not. The topic of this paper is a particular form of charge against compatibilism: that it is shallow. This is not the typical sort of argument against compatibilism: most of the debate has attempted to discredit compatibilism completely. The Argument From Shallowness maintains that the compatibilists do have a case. However, this case is only partial, and shallow. This limited aim proves itself more powerful against compatibilists than previous all-or-nothing attempts. It connects to the valid instincts of compatibilists, making room for them, and hence is harder for compatibilists to ignore.
