<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;"> Many of the ideas discussed in this lecture were originally set forth by David Lewis, who was a professor of philosophy at Princeton University until his untimely death in 2001. If you’d like to go into these issues in more depth, I highly recommend the articles in volume II of his <em>Philosophical Papers.</em> Three articles in this collection are of special relevance to the topics we have discussed here: “Causation”, “Causal Decision Theory”, and “Prisoner’s Dilemma is a Newcomb Problem”.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Some additional texts</span></strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">If you’d like to know more about Newcomb’s Problem in the context of Causal Decision Theory, a good place to start is Paul Weirich’s article on Causal Decision Theory in the <em>Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.</em> It’s available online, and contains an excellent list of references.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">For a defense of one-boxing, and an example of the Tickle Defense, see Terry Horgan’s “Counterfactuals and Newcomb’s Problem”</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">For a comprehensive treatment of the Principle of Utility Maximization, and the ensuing decision theory, see Richard Jeffrey’s <em>The Logic of Decision.</em></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">For a comprehensive treatment of Causal Decision Theory see Jim Joyce’s <em>The Foundations of Causal Decision Theory. </em></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">For a comprehensive discussion of conditionals, I recommend Jonathan Bennett’s <em>A Philosophical Guide to Conditionals. </em></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">The contrast between “If Oswald hadn’t killed Kennedy, someone else would have” and “If Oswald didn’t kill Kennedy, someone else did” is a classic example due to Ernest Adams; it appears in his article “Subjunctive and Indicative Conditionals”.</span></li>
