An inexplicably good argument for causal finitism

Abstract Causal finitism, the view that causal history of any event must be finite, has garnered much philosophical interest recently—especially because its applicability to Kalām cosmological argument. The most prominent argument for finitism is Grim Reaper argument, which attempts show that, if infinite histories are possible, then other paradoxical states affairs also possible. However, this style been criticized on grounds (i) relying controversial modal principles, and (ii) providing a false diagnosis paradoxes involved. In paper, I develop new kind immune these criticisms. by using insights from literature time travel, finitists should instead argue problematically inexplicable , as they entail possibility unexplained foiling mechanisms. fruits paper novel supporting developed, along way building it shown literatures travel deeply intimately connected.
