In Freedom, Teleology, and Evil Stewart Goetz defends the existence
of libertarian freedom of the will. He argues that choices are
essentially uncaused events with teleological explanations in the
form of reasons or purposes. Because choices are uncaused events
with teleological explanations, whenever agents choose they are
free to choose otherwise. Given this freedom to choose otherwise,
agents are morally responsible for how they choose. Thus, Goetz
advocates and defends the principle of alternative possibilities
which states that agents are morally responsible for a choice only
if they are free to choose otherwise. Finally, given that agents
have libertarian freedom, Goetz contends that this freedom is
integral to the construction of a theodicy which explains why God
allows evil.
