The Free Will Defence (FWD) is Mackie outlining how the reason that there is evil present in the world is because God gave us free will, which enabled evil to exist. God chose this as he decided that giving us free will was worth having evil. Mackie outlines this by describing the order goods:
1st Order = doing individual goods
2nd Order = enhancing the individual goods (1st order) of others
3rd Order = our freedom to choose to do 2nd order goods instead of evil
4th Order = God giving us the freedom to make this choice

Mackie then rejects this saying why doesn't God always make us inclined to do 2nd order goods, as this would remove evil & because God doesn't he is either not powerful enough or not loving enough (logical problem blah blah). BUT then to disagree with that you can say that we wouldn't be free if we were always inclined to do something, so Mackie's rejection doesn't really work

Hope this helps :smile:
