    Key Terms

    Compulsive causes(as a type of external influence being discussed)
    Forces or pressures that force you to act against your will, leaving you no real choice in the matter.
    Conjunct (2)(as a reference to a particular statement being evaluated)
    A specific part or claim (labeled as number 2) in a larger logical argument that is joined together with other parts.
    Determining external causes(as what libertarian free will supposedly requires the absence of)
    Outside influences (from the environment, other people, etc.) that completely control what you do, removing your ability to choose differently.
    Sufficient causal conditions(as a philosophical requirement)
    Circumstances or events that are enough by themselves to guarantee that something else will happen; if the conditions are met, the result must follow.
