  • The consequence argument is an argument against compatibilism popularised by Peter van Inwagen. The argument claims that if agents have no control over the facts of the past then the agent has no control of the consequences of those facts. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy gives the following version of the argument, in the form of a syllogism: 1. * No one has power over the facts of the past and the laws of nature. 2. * No one has power over the fact that the facts of the past and the laws of nature entail every fact of the future (i.e., determinism is true) 3. * Therefore, no one has power over the facts of the future. Or in van Inwagan's own words, in An Essay on Free Will: If determinism is true, then our acts are the consequence of laws of nature and events in the remote past. But it's not up to us what went on before we were born, and neither is it up to us what the laws of nature are. Therefore, the consequences of these things (including our present acts) are not up to us (p. 56). (en)
  • 结果论证(英語:Consequence argument)是彼得·范因瓦根提出反对相容論的論證。该论證称,如果能動性无法控制过去,那么能動性就无法控制未來。 《斯坦福哲学百科全书》以三段论的形式给出了以下论点: 1. * 没有人有权控制过去的事情和自然法则。 2. * 过去的事件和自然法则牵涉到未来的所有事情(即決定性是正确的) 3. * 因此,没有人可以掌控未来。 在范·因瓦根的《自由意志论》中有這樣的描述 : 如果決定論是正确的,那么我们的行为就是远古时代自然规律和事件规律的结果。但这不是我们自己决定的,我们出生之前发生的事情也不是我们決定的,自然规律也不取决于我们。 因此,这些事情的未來(包括我们目前的作为)並不取决于我们(第56页)。 (zh)
