T‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍opic 1: Divine Foreknowledge Prof. Rude has gotten himself caught up in a quandary. He tells you the following… Suppose God exists and is omniscient. I chose to eat a burrito instead of a salad at noon today. But before I was even born (say, in the year 1900), God knew that I was going to eat a burrito today. But what God knows in 1900 isn’t up to me – after all I wasn’t born yet! And, I can’t prove God wrong – after all, it’s not in my power to make God fallible! So given that God knew in 1900 that I would eat the burrito today, I had to eat it. That is, I couldn’t have eaten the salad instead. So, even though it seemed that I freely chose to eat the burrito instead of the salad, I I’m not responsible for my choice to eat a burrito instead of a salad – I never really had such a free choice! Part 1. Assuming that God does exist and is omniscient, how would a compatibilist object to Prof. Rude’s reasoning? o Hint:Ingivinghisargument,Prof.Rudea‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ppealstoaprinciplethatthecompatibilistrejects. Your essay should explain (i) that principle, (ii) where Prof. Rude makes use of that principle, and (iii) the argument the compatibilist uses to reject that principle. o Note:. Focus on the key parts that are important for the response you are going to give – and (equally importantly) be brief with parts that aren’t important. Part 2. What features might a Simple Compatibilist claim makes an action like Prof. Rude’s free? How would an incompatibilist object to this proposal? What features might a Second-Order Compatibilist claim makes an action like Prof Rude free? How would an incompatibilist respond?o Recall that the incompatibilist uses counter examples to reespond to the Simple Compatibilist and the Second-Order Compatibilist. You should do the same. A brief conclusion: say who you think gets the better of the dispute between the compatibili‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍st and the incompatibilist.
