  1. Freedom and the Necessity of the Present.Michael Rota - 2012 - Faith and Philosophy 29 (4):451-465.
    In a recent paper, William Hasker has responded to a paper of mine criticizing his argument for theological incompatibilism. In his response, Hasker makes a small but important amendment to his account of freedom. Here I argue that Hasker’s amended account of freedom is false, that there is a plausible alternative account of freedom, and that the plausibility of this alternative account shows that Hasker’s argument for theological incompatibilism relies on a dubious premise.

  • The Present Is Necessary! Rejoinder to Rota.William Hasker - 2012 - Faith and Philosophy 29 (4):466-471.
    My account of free will entails that events of the present moment are “necessary” in the same way that the past is necessary. I argue that Michael Rota’s main objection to this account is unsuccessful. I also argue that Rota’s synchronous account of contingency is inferior to the diachronic account which I favor.

  • Theological Incompatibilism and the Necessity of the Present.William Hasker - 2011 - Faith and Philosophy 28 (2):224-229.
    Michael Rota has identified a problem in my argument for theological incompatibilism, and claims that it also undermines my argument against divinetimeless knowledge. I acknowledge the problem, but show that it is easily corrected and leaves my arguments unscathed.
