Recent Technical Work on the Consequence Argument

Ted A. Warfield

I survey and evaluate recent technical and semi-technical work on the Consequence Argument.  Much of this work has focused on Peter van Inwagen’s “rule beta” and various understandings of what it is to have “a choice” about the truth value of a proposition.  I discuss work by Timothy O’Connor, Thomas McKay and David Johnson, Laura Ekstrom, Erik Carlson, Peter van Inwagen, David Widerker, and others.
