Dennett and Taylor’s alleged refutation of the Consequence Argument [PDF]
Analysis, 2020 Abstract Daniel C. Dennett has long maintained that the Consequence Argument for incompatibilism is confused. In a joint work with Christopher Taylor, he claims to have shown that the argument is based on a failure to understand Logic 101.

Kriterion (Austria), 2020 Abstract The aim of my paper is to compare three alternative formal reconstructions of van Inwagen's famous argument for incompatibilism. In the first part of my paper, I examine van Inwagen's own reconstruction within a propositional modal logic.

‘Can’ and the Consequence Argument [PDF]
Ratio, 2013 AbstractThe consequence argument is a powerful incompatibilist argument for the conclusion that, if determinism is true, what one does is what one must do. A major point of controversy between classical compatibilists and incompatibilists has been over the use of ‘can’ in the consequence argument. Classical compatibilists, holding that abilities to act

The Counterfactual Structure of the Consequence Argument [PDF]
Erkenntnis, 2019 This paper revisits a well-known rebuttal of Peter van Inwagen’s consequence argument. This CS-rebuttal, as I shall call it, focuses on the counterfactual structure of alternative possibilities. It shows that the ability to do otherwise is such that if the agent had exercised it, the distant past and/or the laws of nature would have been different.

Reply to Huemer on the Consequence Argument [PDF]
The Philosophical Review, 2002 In a recent paper, Michael Huemer (2000) provides a new interpretation for 'N', the operator that occurs in Peter van Inwagen's Consequence Argument,1 and argues that, given that interpretation, the Consequence Argument is sound. I have no quarrel with Huemer's claim that the Consequence Argument is valid.

Unsupervised stance detection for arguments from consequences [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2020 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP), 2020 Social media platforms have become an essential venue for online deliberation where users discuss arguments, debate, and form opinions. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised method to detect the stance of argumentative claims with respect to a topic.

On derivative consequence argument
Omsk Scientific Bulletin. Series Society. History. Modernity, 2020 The article gives critical remarks to the derivative consequence argument proposed by Bogdan Faul. The first critical remark concerns the ontological status of the laws of nature, the second remark deals with the term «physicalism». It is demonstrated that conceptual vagueness of the terms used by B.

The Core of the Consequence Argument
Dialectica, 2003 We suggest that the classical version of the consequence argument contending that freedom and determinism are incompatible subtly misstates the core intuition, which is that if a true conditional and a true antecedent are jointly beyond our control, then so is the consequent.

Principles and their Computational Consequences for Argumentation Frameworks with Collective Attacks
Journal of Artificial Intelligence ResearchArgumentation frameworks (AFs) are a key formalism in AI research. Their semantics have been investigated in terms of principles, which define characteristic properties in order to deliver guidance for analyzing established and developing new semantics.
