摘要

为什么上帝允许邪恶?一种假设是，上帝希望自由生物的存在和活动，但他无法创造一个有这样的生物和这样的活动的世界，而不允许邪恶。如果Molinism是正确的，那么这个假设的概率应该是多少?一些哲学家声称，应该赋予一个低概率，因为有无限数量的可能的人，因为我们没有理由假设这些生物会选择一种方式而不是另一种方式。这样的争论依赖于冷漠原则。但是这个原则被大多数概率哲学家所否定。一些哲学家声称应该分配一个低概率，因为不这样做违反了关于自由意志的直觉。但这些争论可以通过通常用来捍卫理论的策略来解决，这些理论在伦理学和形而上学中具有反直觉的结果。

WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT EVERYONE IS DEPRAVED?

Why does God allow evil? One hypothesis is that God desires the existence and activity of free creatures but He was unable to create a world with such creatures and such activity without also allowing evil. If Molinism is true, what probability should be assigned to this hypothesis? Some philosophers claim that a low probability should be assigned because there are an infinite number of possible people and because we have no reason to suppose that such creatures will choose one way rather than another. Arguments like this depend on the principle of indifference. But that principle is rejected by most philosophers of probability. Some philosophers claim that a low probability should be assigned because doing otherwise violates intuitions about freewill. But such arguments can be addressed through strategies commonly employed to defend theories with counterintuitive results across ethics and metaphysics.

期刊介绍： Since its inauguration in 1964, the American Philosophical Quarterly (APQ) has established itself as one of the principal English vehicles for the publication of scholarly work in philosophy. The whole of each issue—printed in a large-page, double-column format—is given to substantial articles; from time to time there are also "state of the art" surveys of recent work on particular topics. The editorial policy is to publish work of high quality, regardless of the school of thought from which it derives.
