In philosophy class this morning, there was a debate over free will and part of the issue came down to two different senses:
Pre-enlightenment: Freedom is the ability to do what is good in the sight of God.
Post-enlightenment: Freedom is the natural ability to do what one pleases, whether that be good or evil.
Can Calvinists agree that depraved man has free will in the second sense? I suggest yes.
