Keywords: Material conditional; fixity of the past; free will; fatalism.
Summary/Abstract: In ‘A Puzzle about the Fixity of the Past’, Fabio Lampert argues that the principle of the fixity of the past is at odds with standard views about knowledge and the semantics for ‘actually’. In this paper, we show that Lampert’s argument fails because of its use of the material conditional.
