 It is important to add, however, that most contemporary interpreters do not read the argument of V.3–6 in quite this way. (For a balanced assessment of various interpretations, including the one offered here, see Sharples 2009; and for a powerful critique of aspects of the view presented here, see Michon 2015). They hold that Philosophy is arguing that God is atemporal, so eliminating the problems about determinism, which arise when God’s knowing future contingents is seen an event in the past, and therefore, fixed.
