 A final problem for the view that Descartes subscribes to a libertarian conception of freedom is that in the end it is required to appeal to a doctrine of divine incomprehensibility to explain how divine providence and foreknowledge are consistent with libertarian freedom. Ragland does this (Ragland 2016, 230–235), as does Wee (in Wee 2014, 199–200). We do not need to force Descartes to appeal to divine incomprehensibility if we interpret him as a compatibilist, and as we have seen we could save him from additional trouble as well. He does appeal to divine incomprehensibility in the course of trying to understand why we would have an experience of independence if God has preordained everything from eternity, and that experience is mysterious indeed, but Descartes does not say anywhere that freedom itself is inconsistent with divine preordination. As we have seen, however, in one passage he speaks of the
