The Shackles of Foreknowledge

Analysis
Abstract Many incompatibilists have claimed that divine foreknowledge would rob us of the ability to do otherwise, even though that knowledge would not itself play any role in producing our behavior (either in the actual world or in counterfactual situations where we try to do otherwise).

Human Foreknowledge

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.

The Paradox of Foreknowledge

Dialogue, 1967
What fourth dimension of a four-dimensional space-time continuum. I propose to develop some of the commonly held implications of this view, and to show that they involve a contradiction. Hence whatever time is, it cannot be the thing corresponding to this particular theory.

The Drama of Foreknowledge

2019
This chapter addresses another element of canonical authorship which adaptations may foreground and subsequently obfuscate: audience foreknowledge about narrative events and famous passages of dialogue. It positions this anamorphic process within a reflexive context, derived from the idea of metacinema developed in Chapter 5 and from theoretical ...

Foreknowledge and Possibility

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 and Fatalism

Religious Studies, 1974
In a recent book, J. R. Lucas presents an argument to show that if God has infallible knowledge of the future, our will is not free. Thus, Lucas concludes, like the medieval Jewish philosopher Gersonides, that God in creating beings with genuinely free will, abdicates some of his omniscience as well as some of his omnipotence.
