Notes

1 Ertl explicitly points out the ambiguity in the word ‘determines’ here, carefully separating its metaphysical and epistemological meanings, and tracking them throughout Kant’s discussion.

2 For reasons of space, I will not discuss the fifth threat.

3 Ertl thus endorses the ‘altered laws’ rather than the ‘altered past’ response to Van Inwagen’s Consequence Argument.

4 In his defence, Ertl acknowledges the importance of this issue.
