Steward, HC (2015) Agency Incompatibilism and Divine Agency. European Journal for Philosophy of Religion, 7 (3). ISSN 1689-8311
Abstract
In this paper, the author considers whether an argument for compatibilism about free will and determinism might be developed from the thought that God’s agency seems consistent with the rational determination of at least some divine actions by the True and the Good. The paper attempts to develop such an argument and then considers how to respond to it from the point of view of the author’s own position, which she calls Agency Incompatibilism. The author argues that a crucial premise in the argument is ambiguous and offer responses to the argument on behalf of the Agency Incompatibilist, on each of the disambiguations.
