Hume mentions 'the will' in the treatise, and he says its an internal impression of deliberation. but he also says its indefinable and needless to describe any further. As i understand it, Hume thinks that each person has certain beliefs and desires and under particular circmstances, and with all the right information, actions can be predicted. The reason he thinks actions can be free is because he thinks they come from inside you, they are internally determined when not imposed by external constraint.
