This book is an investigation into the compatibility of perfect
divine foreknowledge and morally responsible agency. Corrigan
surveys the recent literature on the subject, clearly outlining the
positions of the most influential philosophers and theologians,
attempting to find the most comprehensive and defensible thesis. He
places particular emphasis on the various accounts offered by
theological fatalists, Ockhamists and Molinists. In the course of
his investigation, he also considers what capacities are essential
for moral responsibility, the apparent conflict between God's
essential attributes and the power to do otherwise, and the many
compatibilist theses that have been offered to uphold the idea that
we have significant free will, even if we accept the reality of
divine omniscience. Corrigan offers his own unique insights and
provides cogent arguments for why any of the different forms of
compatibilism are incapable of resolving the issue.
