Van Inwagen on the consequence argument
Analysis, 1992If determinism is true, then, where p is any true proposition ascribing an action to some human agent, p is logically implied by any conjunction consisting of a proposition that expresses the laws of nature and a proposition that describes the state of the universe at some time prior to the origin of human existence.

Freedom, Causation, and the Consequence Argument
Synthese, 1998The problem of analyzing causation and the problem of incompatibilism versus compatibilism are largely distinct. Yet, this paper will show that there are some theories of causation that a compatibilist should not endorse: namely, counterfactual theories, specifically the one developed by David Lewis and a newer, amended version of his account ...

The irrelevance of the Consequence Argument
Analysis, 2008It is worth noting that as van Inwagen originally formulates the doctrine of deter minism, L together with a proposition expressing the total state of the universe at a time later than now necessitate a proposition expressing the total state of the universe now (1983: 65; Campbell 2007: 106).

I will answer that this necessity is not peculiar to the thesis of determinism and does not depend directly on ...

In Chapter 1, I suggested that the main theoretical barrier against analysis of concrete micro situations within the Marxian framework has been the absence of explicit consideration of class struggle, particularly struggle within productive activity. Once class struggle is incorporated fundamentally and explicitly into a Marxian framework, two types of
