Changing the Past: Retrocausality and Narrative Construction

C. van Putten

Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › Professional

Abstract

This article is a reply to Jeanne Peijnenburg's argument for retrocausality in "Shaping Your Own Life." Although it is perfectly possible to make sense of the way Peijnenburg deals with the subject of changing the past, there is no need to think this implies retrocausality. © 2006 Metaphilosophy LLC and Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
