In the Beatific Vision, both Freedom and Necessity
TheoLogica, 2018 According to Aquinas, the souls in heaven (hereafter, the blessed) are both necessitated (i.e., determined) and free in their choice to love God. But if Aquinas is right, it may seem that we cannot give an incompatibilist account of the freedom of the ...

Causal counterfactuals without miracles or backtracking
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 439-469, September 2023., 2023 Abstract If the laws are deterministic, then standard theories of counterfactuals are forced to reject at least one of the following conditionals: 1) had you chosen differently, there would not have been a violation of the laws of nature; and 2) had you chosen differently, the initial conditions of the universe would not have been different.

Foreknowledge requires determinism
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 107, Issue 1, Page 125-146, July 2023., 2023 Abstract There is a longstanding argument that purports to show that divine foreknowledge is inconsistent with human freedom to do otherwise.

Can Soft‐Line Compatibilism Handle Eternally Recurrent Manipulation?
Theoria, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A key challenge to compatibilism comes from manipulation arguments. These argue that agents whose actions are manipulated are not morally responsible and that manipulation is not relevantly different from determinism. One common response from compatibilists is to claim that there is a relevant difference between manipulation and ordinary ...
