I offer an alternative, libertarian reading of the essay I lay out the prima facie textual evidence for such a reading. I also explain how apparently compatibilist remarks in “On Freedom” can be read as aspects of a sophisticated type of libertarianism that rejects blind or arbitrary choice. To this end, I consider the historical context of Du Châtelet's essay, and especially the dialectic between various strands of eighteenth-century libertarianism and compatibilism.</jats:p>","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"3","publication":"History of Philosophy Quarterly","doi":"10.5406/21521026.38.3.02","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2024-01-29T16:29:08Z","publication_status":"published","intvolume":"        38","title":"Du Châtelet's Libertarianism","year":"2022","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0740-0675","2152-1026"]},"author":[{"first_name":"Aaron","last_name":"Wells","full_name":"Wells, Aaron"}],"citation":{"apa":"Wells, A.
