The earliest correct answer I know of to the question of “how do we have free will?” comes from St. Augustine, except instead of free will vs. determinism it was free will vs. divine omniscience. God knowing the future, Augustine says, doesn’t invalidate our free will, because the cause of the choice still lies within our power, and that’s what matters.
So yeah, sorry, I guess you weren’t interested in talking about whether this makes any sense in relation to free will, but it does seem relevant when something is about 1500 years out of date.
