Time Travelers Are Not Free
Journal of Philosophy 112 (5):266-279 (2015)
Abstract
In this paper I defend two conclusions: that time travel journeys to the past are not undertaken freely and, more generally, that nobody is free between the earliest arrival time and the latest departure time of a time travel journey to the past. Time travel to the past destroys freedom on a global scale.Author's Profile
