The consequence argument ungrounded

Synthese, 2017
Peter van Inwagen's original formulation of the Consequence Argument employed an inference rule (rule beta) that was shown to be invalid given van Inwagen's interpretation of the modal operators in the Consequence Argument (McKay and Johnson in Philos Top 24:113-122, 1996). In response, van Inwagen (Metaphysics.

Lehrer and the consequence argument

Philosophical Studies, 2012
The consequence argument of van Inwagen is widely regarded as the best argument for incompatibilism. Lewis’s response is praised by van Inwagen as the best compatibilist’s strategy but Lewis himself acknowledges that his strategy resembles that of Lehrer. A comparison will show that one can speak about Lehrer–Lewis strategy, although I think that Lewis’

Compatibilism and the Consequence Argument

2013
In §1.4, I introduced The Consequence Argument, so-called because it trades on the fact that if determinism is true, our acts are consequences of the laws of nature plus facts about the past – that is, the laws plus the past entail that we perform them. As I said in §1.4, a very rough summary of the argument goes like this: The laws of nature and facts

The Consequence Argument Revisited

2012
AbstractThis article surveys the most recent versions of the Consequence Argument and objections to them. It considers objections made to some of the more well-known versions of the argument and recent attempts by defenders to answer these objections by offering reformulated versions of it. Many objections involve a principle van Inwagen called “Beta,”
