This typo o f argunont w ill be used by niojiy advocates of Freedom rep ud iate th e ba sic te n e ts o f Jotarminiem , and i t w il l be observed that iiidwards w ill have to jo to gr e at tro u b le to d e fin e t h is power of su sp en sio n w ith gr e ater c o r e . Howovorj Locke does n o t appear to r e a lis e how near ho has come to a rep ud iatio n o f h is fundam ental n otio n s , but pa sses on to ob serve that t h is elem ent o f judgment in tho determina
tio n o f th e W ill i s a v a lu a b le argument a g fiin st the " In d iffer - ency" of th e W ill. Locke b e lie v e s that th ere are c e rtain
a ctio n s about which men arc "in d iffer e nt" , but oven h er e , on
t h is small p oin t, 3dwards cannot fin d h im self in f ul l ag ree ment w ith Locke. Y et, says Locke, th ere are acme a ctio n s
about which rran cannot be in d if f er e nt. Man must be d e ter mined "by th e l a st r e s u lt of our minds". I n one pcussage, he becomes alm ost Kantian in h is a p p reciatio n o f "understanding"
ae an slam ant in tho D etermination of th e J il l .
".%nd, th er e fo r e , every man is" put under a n e c c st it y , by n is c o n s tit u t io n a s an i n t el li g e n t b e in g , to be determined in w illin g by h is own thought and judgment what i s b e s t A x him to do; el s e he would be under
th e d eterminatio n o f some oth er than h im s elf, which i s want o f lib erty * "
H ere, i e on in s ta n c e of a statem en t «M oh, i f allow ed to be pressed to i t s f ul l lo gica l c o n c lu sio n , would s erio u sly

and Kant u se alm ost th e exact il lu str at io n . (8) However, i t i s only f air t o Looks to say t hat , although ho goes very near
