Roderick Chisholm on Omniscience - Dictionary of Arguments
II 95ff Omniscience/determinism/Gombocz: omniscience and freedom of action may be in conflict: the free-doer must be able to disappoint the forecast of the omniscient. Formal paradox: the knowledge of the omniscient shall contain at least the logical truth that the actions of the free-doer are free. Omniscience does not rule out the possibility that others are omniscient, which leads to compensation losses in the other, if this free nature should be limited. II 102 VsTheism/omniscience/Gombocz: endangered by will - variant: God limited his knowledge intentionally. >Free Will, >Knowledge, >Knowledge paradoxes. Wolfgang L. Gombocz. Maxima. In: M.David/L. Stubenberg (Hg) Philosophische Aufsätze zu Ehren von R.M. Chisholm Graz 1986_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
