A quick Thomistic argument for alternate possibilities

  1. I freely choose between A and B only if I am deciding in the light of a non-dominated reason for A and a non-dominated reason for B.
  2. A non-dominated reason for C is a causal power for deciding in favor of C.
  3. If x has a causal power for φing, then x can φ.
  4. So, if I freely choose between A and B, then I can decide in favor of A and I can decide in favor of B.

I am not sure if something as "non-dominated reason" is (onto)logically possible ...
