- Title
More Trouble for Direct Source Incompatibilism: Reply to Yang.
- Authors
Hermes, Charles; Campbell, Joe
- Abstract
Direct source incompatibilism (DSI) is the conjunction of two claims: SI-F: there are genuine Frankfurt-style counterexamples (FSCs); SI-D: there is a sound version of the direct argument (DA). Eric Yang () responds to a recent criticism of DSI (Campbell ). We show that Yang misses the mark. One can accept Yang's criticisms and get the same result: there is a deep tension between FSCs and DA, between SI-F and SI-D. Thus, DSI is untenable. In this essay, we use an important yet overlooked distinction between truthmakers and determiners to help drive this point home.
