The following slogan often attributed to Schopenhauer

"A man can do as he will, but not will as he will" [so there is no free will]

— quoted by Albert Einstein in "Mein Weltbild" (1931)

has always irritated me. What would be a counterargument to it? Are there any major philosophers who argued against it?
