A Three Case Divine Controller Argument for Incompatibilism
Basically fusing Pereboom's 4-Case argument with Roger's Divine Controller argument.
Occasionalism proposes that God is the sole true cause of events in the world, and that all other events, including those seemingly caused by natural processes, are merely occasions for God to act. In this view, natural events are not truly causal themselves, but rather are correlated with God's actions
Any world where occasionalism is true is relevantly similar with respect to one’s control, ability, and responsibility to any world where Spinozism is true.
Spinozism posits that there is only one substance, God, which is identical with nature, and everything that exists is a manifestation of God's attributes and modes. God’s attributes are infinite, but we are acquainted with only two: thought and extension. They are expressed as modifications of one substance. God or Nature is both essentially necessary as substance and derivative necessary, in virtue of the modes causal determination.
Determinism is the thesis that everything that happens is causally necessitated, which is consistent with the causal origin(s) being conscious or nonconscious, necessary or contingent.
Any world where determinism is true is relevantly similar with respect to one’s control, ability, and responsibility to any world where Occasionalism or Spinozism is true.
If one does not exemplify the relevant sense of control, ability, and responsibility in the O and S worlds, then determinism is inconsistent with moral control.
