According to the PhilPapers survey, over half of philosophers favour a compatibilist approach to free will—i.e. that free will is compatible with determinism.
I also recommend the LessWrong writing on the subject.
Thanks, I am quite sceptical of compatibilism as a work-around as it still seems unreasonable to say I ought to have done something I metaphysically could not have done. But yes, given epistemic modesty I can’t dismiss it entirely when so many professional philosophers support it. I’ll have a look through LessWrong.
