Free will is simply the premise implied by the intelligibility of human action, even when there may be other reasons for thinking that the action may be constrained by other heteronomous factors. This position ought to exclude a lot of pointless divagations about freedom and agency, at the same time as being of no use at all for a liberatory politics. Heteronomy and constraint are of interest precisely because because they can be seen as extraordinary self-limitations of pure freedom, a freedom that has nothing to do with paradigms of agency. Where there is pure freedom any initial exercise of it will be catastrophic. This must be and yet, since this exercise is incapable of affecting that freedom in any way, and because there is never a first moment of anything, the catastrophe is both devastating and entirely virtual, relentlessly affirmative and empty and non-existent. Between those extremes all the absurdities of triumphing life dance.
