Libertarian free will requires the ability to do otherwise, but J.M. Fischer's work shows moral responsibility is compatible with determinism, making libertarian free will not uniquely valuable.

Compatible with determinism(as used in free will debates): The claim that two things can both be true at the same time: that everything is caused by prior events, AND that people can still have moral responsibility.
J.M. Fischer(as a key figure in free will philosophy): A contemporary American philosopher known for arguing that people can be morally responsible for their actions even in a deterministic world (one where everything is caused by prior events).
ability to do otherwise(Standard criterion in free will debates; the compatibilist rejects this as a necessary condition for freedom): The capacity of an agent, at the point of action with all circumstances held constant, to have acted differently than they did.
determinism(Discussion of classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and general relativity): A property of physical theories concerning whether the laws governing a system fully fix future (and past) states given present conditions; admits of degrees ('fall only a bit short')
