This philosopher argued that if rower P demands a bribe from a drowning Q, P is only making a coercive threat if he is expected to rescue Q in the first place.
This philosopher argued that if rower P demands a bribe from a drowning Q, P is only making a coercive threat if he is expected to rescue Q in the first place. Part One of one of his books is titled "How to back into a State Without Really Trying," and that work remarks that the rights of readers are not violated if Joseph Goebbels is executed, depriving them of potential reading material. Though he's not Fred Dretske, this philosopher refutes the skeptical argument by denying epistemic (*) closure, and he claims that we can know that p is true given that, if p were not true, then we wouldn't believe it was true in any close possible worlds, his theory of truth-tracking. This man claimed that people would not choose to stay within an "experience machine" that grants them false memories. For 10 points, name this libertarian philosopher who wrote Anarchy, State and Utopia.
