Abstract

Abstract David Lewis’ contemplations regarding divine foreknowledge and free will, along with some of his other more substantial work on modal realism and his counterpart theory can serve as a springboard to a novel solution to the foreknowledge and metaphysical freedom puzzle, namely a proposal that genuine metaphysical freedom is compatible with determinism, which is quite different from the usual compatibilist focus on the compatibility between determinism and moral responsibility. This paper argues that while Lewis opens the doors to such a possibility, in order to fully elucidate a genuinely metaphysical compatibilist account, Lewis’ own counterpart theory must be abandoned in favour of an account of trans-world identity that is theoretically framed by a modified version of Robert Nozick’s closest continuer theory.
形而上学的相容论与跨世界人格的本体论:一个关于神性预知(决定论)与形而上学自由意志相容的新刘易斯论证
摘要大卫·刘易斯关于神的先验知识和自由意志的思考,以及他关于模态实在论的其他一些更实质性的工作和他的对应理论,可以作为一个跳板来解决先验知识和形而上学自由之谜,即提出真正的形而上学自由与决定论兼容,这与通常的相容主义者关注决定论与道德责任之间的相容性截然不同。本文认为,虽然刘易斯为这种可能性打开了大门,但为了充分阐明一种真正形而上学的相容主义解释,必须放弃刘易斯自己的对应理论,转而支持由罗伯特·诺齐克最接近连续理论的修改版本在理论上构建的跨世界身份解释。
