This definition of illusionism, referring only to the issue of freewill, is onconsistent with the definitions suggested on the pages linking here (from wikipedia), which talk about illusionism as being a wider metaphysical doctrine about the nature of the apparent material world.
The American Heritage Dictioanry supports this interpretation:
l·lu·sion·ism (-lzh-nzm) n. 1. Philosophy The doctrine that the material world is an immaterial product of the senses. 2. The use of illusionary techniques and devices in art or decoration.
I think the current article should be reclassified as "illusionism_(freewill)" and a new article written for "illusionism"
On a similar note, there is also a version of illusionism that is specifically about consciousness, so I agree that this article should be renamed illusionism_(freewill) .
