摘要
W辩护是替代可能性原则(PAP)最突出的论据之一。在此,我提出一些支持 W 辩解的考虑因素,并对我认为迄今为止最有力的反对意见作出回应。我对这些反对意见的回应援引了众所周知的对法兰克福案例的自由闪烁回应。我认为,"W "辩护和 "闪烁 "回应是相辅相成的,两者结合在一起,就能为 PAP 进行令人信服的辩护。
The W-defense is among the most prominent arguments for the principle of alternative possibilities (PAP). Here I offer some considerations in support of the W-defense and respond to what I see as the most forceful objections to it to date. My response to these objections invokes the well-known flicker of freedom response to Frankfurt cases. I argue that the W-defense and the flicker response are mutually reinforcing and together yield a compelling defense of PAP.
