Ockham, God, and Free Will

This chapter explores Ockham's view on God's knowledge and its implications for human free will, contrasting his ideas with fatalism and predestination. The discussion emphasizes the distinction between hard and soft facts, focusing on how God's foreknowledge interacts with future events and human agency. Philosophers such as Richard Taylor and Bruce Reichenbach are examined to illuminate the dynamics of divine knowledge and its relation to human choices.
