Philosophical Perspectives, 2021
AbstractI explore the motivation and logical consequences of the idea that we have some (limited) ability to know contingent facts about the future, even in presence of the assumption that the future is objectively unsettled or indeterminate. I start by formally characterizing skepticism about the future.

Simple foreknowledge e provvidenza
2021In questo articolo mostriamo che il modello della simple foreknowledge non riesce a essere esplicativamente adeguato nei confronti dell azione provvidenziale di Dio sul mondo. A tal fine allestiremo due argomenti: il primo sottolinea le difficolt che riguardano il concetto stesso di intervento di Dio nella storia; il secondo difende la tesi per cui,

Foreknowledge Without Determinism
Sophia, 2017A number of philosophers and theologians have argued that if God has knowledge of future human actions then human agents cannot be free. This argument rests on the assumption that, since God is essentially omniscient, God cannot be wrong about what human agents will do. It is this assumption that I challenge in this paper.

Foreknowledge & Divine Emotions
European Journal for Philosophy of Religion, 2022In this essay, we move to further advance the work done on God and emotions by RT Mullins, exploring the role exhaustive divine foreknowledge plays as it relates to God’s emotional life. Given our preliminary investigation at the intersection of divine foreknowledge and divine emotion, and focusing specifically on the neoclassical theistic conception ...

Canadian Journal of Philosophy, 1976
Professor Holt's comments fall into two parts. He begins by raising some objections to the tentative rejection, in my paper, of the distinction between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ facts. He then goes on to offer an argument to show that my defence of the incompatibility of divine foreknowledge and human freedom fails, or is at least seriously questionable.

Foreknowledge transcends traditional discipline boundaries: discussion of it appears in philosophy of religion, time, action, free will, decision theory, logic, and epistemology. Nonetheless, the literature can be divided roughly into three overlapping categories.

Religious Studies, 2000
Christian theism has traditionally claimed that God knows the future. But why is divine foreknowledge important? In this essay, I argue that divine foreknowledge is valuable to Christian theism and that a hefty theological price must be paid if it is rejected. I also attempt to show that the range of knowledge available to God in theological models

The Philosophical Review, 2011
The bulk of the essay “Truth and Freedom” (Philosophical Review 118 [2009]: 29–57) opposes fatalism, which is the claim that if there is a true proposition to the effect that an action A will occur, then A will not be free. But that essay also offers a new way to reconcile divine foreknowledge and human freedom.

Philosophia, 2013
Theological fatalists contend that if God knows everything, then no human action is free, and that since God does know everything, no human action is free. One reply to such arguments that has become popular recently— a way favored by William Hasker and Peter van Inwagen—agrees that if God knows everything, no human action is free.

Timelessness and Foreknowledge
Mind, 1975AbstractThis chapter is concerned with the problem of divine foreknowledge and human freedom. It is argued that an appeal to timelessness does not remove that problem, for it is claimed that there is a clear sense in which we can say that a timeless God nevertheless has foreknowledge. Talk of God's foreknowledge, though legitimate and necessary, has no
