 Ekstrom (2019) has recently criticized her older account and defended a centered view of the sort discussed in the next section. But her previous account is worthy of consideration. Ekstrom’s account emphasized preference rather than evaluative judgment. A preference, as she understands it, is a desire “formed by a process of critical evaluation with respect to one’s conception of the good” (2000: 106). The formation of a preference, she maintained, is an action. She required indeterminism only in the production of these preferences. A decision or other action is free, on her view, just in case it is brought about, in an appropriate way, by an active formation of a preference (favoring that decision or action), which preference-formation is in turn the result of an uncoerced exercise of the agent’s evaluative faculty, the inputs to which nondeterministically cause that preference-formation.
