The Prospects for the Free Will Defence
Faith and Philosophy 27 (2):142-152 (2010)
Abstract
My main conclusion is that the prospects for a successful Free Will Defence employing Alvin Plantinga’s basic strategy are poor. The paper explains how the Defence is supposed to work, and pays special attention both to the definition of Transworld Depravity and also to whether is is possible that God actualizes a world containing moral good.Author's Profile
