Molinism, named after the sixteenth-century Spanish Jesuit Luis de
Molina, re-emerged in the 1970s after it was unwittingly assumed in
versions of Alvin Plantinga's Free Will Defense against the Logical
Argument from Evil. The Molinist notion of middle knowledge--and
especially its main objects, so-called counterfactuals of
(creaturely) freedom--have been the subject of vigorous debate in
analytical philosophy of religion ever since. Is middle knowledge
logically coherent? Is it a benefit or a liability overall for a
satisfying account of divine providence? The essays in this
collection examine the status, defensibility, and application of
Molinism. Friends and foes of Molinism are well represented, and
there are some lively exchanges between them. The collection
provides a snap-shot of the current state of the Molinism Wars,
along with some discussion of where we've been and where we might
go in the future. More battles surely lie ahead; the essays and
ideas in this collection are likely to have a major impact on
future directions. The essays are specially written by a line-up of
established and respected philosophers of religion, metaphysicians,
and logicians. There is a substantive Introduction and an extensive
Bibliography to assist both students and professionals.
