5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent review of the foreknowledge/freedom problem.,
By Bob "bobsacamento" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dilemma of Freedom and Foreknowledge (Paperback)
This book is not necessarily the best place to begin an investigation of the problem of divine foreknowledge vs. human freedom. Linda Zagzebski definitely writes for an audience of folks who actually argue about this stuff for a living. But it is a book that you will eventually have to read if you want to investigate this problem in any depth. Zagzebski offers the best summary of the historically proposed solutions to this problem (and the problems they themselves engender) of which I am aware. She makes a proposal of her own to this problem and then, in the practice of the best philosophers, leaves the reader with even more severe freedom/foreknowledge problems in need of solution.
