Abstract

This article aims to present and examine the compatibilism defended by the philosopher John Stuart Mill. Initially, I present the usual way of defending millian compatibilism, that is, a conception based on the exercise of second-order desires. Then, I argue that Mill's compatibilism can be understood in a more productive way if considered as a compatibilism with a pragmatic-dialogical bias.
