The issue of human agency has been confused with the question of determinism versus indeterminism. The author takes the position that to argue for agency is not necessarily to argue for indeterminism. Once the agentive position is freed from the burden of indeterminism, it becomes a serious possibility. It is further argued that the notion of freedom as choice from among alternatives is conceptually flawed. A conception of freedom as "having the world truthfully" is presented as an alternative to freedom conceived as choice. This view of agency, drawing chiefly on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and Emmanuel Levinas., suggests that the proper grounding for the understanding of human freedom is in morality, rather than in the "metaphysic of things."
