| Resumo: | In this paper we consider the possibility of a Quantum Molinism: such a view applies an analogue of the Molinistic account of free will's compatibility with God's foreknowledge to God's knowledge of (supposedly) indeterministic events at a quantum level. We ask how (and why) a providential God could care for and know about a world with this kind of indeterminacy. We consider various formulations of such a Quantum Molinism, and after rejecting a number of options arrive at one seemingly coherent formulation. |
