The Debate over the Consequence Argument 10122 Readers interested in pursuing Ginet’s thoughtful reply to these compatibilist views
are invited to see Appendix II. We should note, however, that this is very advanced
work, and the main points we wish to convey about it are already set out above.
23 There are other objections to LMC that we won’t consider in detail here. Helen
Beebee (2003), for example, argues that in certain common sorts of cases in which an
agent is intuitively able to do otherwise, the local miracle compatibilist is, after all,
committed to the causal notion of ability. Peter Graham (2008) responds to Beebee
on behalf of the compatibilist, but the issues here turn out to be complex and
challenging.
