| Summary: | In a series of recent papers John martin Fischer argues that the so- called molinist solution to the problem of reconciling divine omniscience with human freedom does not offer such a solution at all. Instead, he maintains, molina simply presupposes theological compatibilism. However, Fischer construes the problem in terms of sempiternalist omniscience, whereas classical molinism adopts atemporalism. I argue that, moreover, an atemporalist reformulation of Fischers argument designed to show that molinism is not even consistent is unsuccessful as well, since it employs a transfer principle about causal inaccessibility that molina rightfully rejects. |
