Abstract

One problem for Molinism that critics of the view have pressed, and which Molinists have so far done little to address, is that even if there are true counterfactuals of freedom, it is puzzling how God could possibly know them. I defuse this worry by sketching a plausible model of the mechanics of middle knowledge which draws on William Alston’s direct acquaintance account of divine knowledge.

上帝如何知道自由的反事实
莫林主义面临的一个问题是,即使存在真正的自由反事实,上帝怎么可能知道它们,这是令人困惑的,这一问题受到了批评人士的压力,而莫林主义者迄今为止几乎没有采取任何行动来解决这个问题。我用威廉·奥尔斯顿(William Alston)对神性知识(divine knowledge)的直接认识描述,为中间知识的机制描绘了一个似是而非的模型,以此来化解这种担忧。
