If I understand Spurrett right now, transcendental argument
means that Given (X), (Y) follows ´transcendentally from (X)
if (Y) is a sufficient condition for (X) to be, and the
conflicting views (Y2) do not imply (X), or rather, imply
non-(X). Yes?

If not, please define transcendental argument carefully for
a person who has not had the nerves to finish Kritik der
Reinen Vernunft yet.

Based on my understanding above, and Spurrett´s remarks,
(X) is our belief that we have Free Will, and any (Y), to
be acceptable, must explain this. Right?

So, what do you mean when you say "Free Will"? Exact, please.
