The opposite of determinism is called metaphysical libertarianism iirc.
The definition of free will is obviously very tricky even among compatibilists, and depending on who you ask you will get very different answers. But usually yes, there are no absolutes, as there are always many factors involved in making decisions, and personal interests (however you might define them) will be different proportions of that.
Oh, I see, that’s what I’ve usually heard referred to as “freedom of action.”
When adopting this broader definition of “free will,” how do we describe what opponents to Determinism propose?
e: Also, this use of “free will,” I assume it is understood to be a spectrum and not a binary when used in the compatibilist manner?

Thanks for taking the time to answer!
