摘要
在他2001年英年早逝后,在他的哲学论文和信件中发现了一篇论文的提纲——“Nihil Obstat: a Analysis of Ability”,在本卷中复制——大卫·刘易斯(david Lewis)概述了一种新的能力相容论,根据这种理论,一个人能够获得a,当且仅当他们的a -ing没有障碍,而障碍是他们的a -ing的“强有力的阻止者”。在本文中,我们为刘易斯的提纲提供了一些背景,逐节评论,并对该帐户的主要特征进行了一般性讨论。
Nihil Obstat: Lewis’s Compatibilist Account of Abilities
In an outline of a paper found amongst his philosophical papers and correspondence after his untimely death in 2001—“Nihil Obstat: An Analysis of Ability,” reproduced in this volume—David Lewis sketched a new compatibilist account of abilities, according to which someone is able to A if and only if there is no obstacle to their A-ing, where an obstacle is a ‘robust preventer’ of their A-ing. In this paper, we provide some background context for Lewis’s outline, a section-by-section commentary, and a general discussion of the account’s main features.
