Abstract

There is an old and powerful argument for the claim that divine foreknowledge is incompatible with the freedom to do otherwise. A recent response to this argument, sometimes called the “dependence response,” centers around the claim that God’s relevant past beliefs depend on the relevant agent’s current or future behavior in a certain way. This paper offers a new argument for the dependence response, one that revolves around different cases of time travel. Somewhat serendipitously, the argument also paves the way for a new reply to a compelling objection to the dependence response, the challenge from prepunishment. But perhaps not so serendipitously, the argument also renders the dependence response incompatible with certain views of providence.

依赖反应与解释循环
有一个古老而有力的论点认为,神圣的预知和做其他事情的自由是不相容的。最近对这一论点的回应,有时被称为“依赖回应”,围绕着这样一种说法,即上帝过去的相关信仰在某种程度上取决于相关主体当前或未来的行为。本文围绕时间旅行的不同情况,为依赖反应提供了一个新的论点。有点意外的是,这一论点也为一个新的答案铺平了道路,以回应对依赖反应的令人信服的反对,即来自准备的挑战。但也许并非偶然,这一论点也使依赖反应与某些天意观点不兼容。
