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.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"History of Philosophy Quarterly"}
