| Apr 9, 2017 at 19:45 | comment | added | Conifold | Creation of the world is not in time, "perfect foreknowledge" is not knowledge at an earlier point in time of what will happen at later points, it is a timeless grasp of it all. On this picture it is not entirely a result of design since free creatures complete the creation with their free actions. An more controversial alternative is that God counterfactually knows how free creatures would act in given circumstances, this is called middle knowledge, and so knows how they will act given the design, but without bringing it about by design. | |

| Apr 9, 2017 at 9:27 | comment | added | vonjd | @virmaior: My question is - as also stated in the headline - how does compatibilism work in this aggravated scenario. You simply write "According to compatibilists yes" - Could you elaborate on this? Thank you | |
| Apr 9, 2017 at 9:16 | comment | added | virmaior | But what is the SE answerable question you're having about philosophy? (as worded this is not something where we can provide an objective answer) | |
| Apr 9, 2017 at 9:15 | comment | added | virmaior | According to compatibilists yes. According to some (many? all?) libertarians*1 and determinists*2, no. (*1 - libertarian here means the position on free will -- not the political position; *2 - determinist means "hard determinist")... | |
