I am looking at Aaron Snyder's The Paradox of Determinism (American Philosophical Quarterly Vol.9, n.4, Oct. 1970)
Is it still discussed? Are his claims and arguments taken in account in present days discussions on free will and determinism?

1Not really. Here is Knaster's counter to the self-defeat arguments against determinism from back 1986. Self-defeat arguments, also against relativism, skepticism, etc., rarely work, they are easily avoided by more careful reformulations. – Conifold Aug 23 '18 at 17:55

Thanks. May I download Knaster's paper from somewhere (legally)? Further biblio? – mario Aug 24 '18 at 17:49

1I doubt it, it is too dated. You can request full text on research gate, but I wouldn't hold my breath. You can also look at Churchland an Popper's exchange in Mind in the early 1980-s or Boyle's 1987 entry. – Conifold Aug 25 '18 at 3:13
