In a recent paper, Michael Huemer (2000) provides a new interpretation for 'N', the operator that occurs in Peter van Inwagen's Consequence Argument, 2 and argues that, given that interpretation, the Consequence Argument is sound.I have no quarrel with Huemer's claim that the Consequence Argument is valid.I shall argue instead that his defence of its premises -a defence that allegedly involves refuting David Lewis's (1981) response to van Inwagen -is unsuccessful.Following Huemer, let N S p = No matter what S does, p where (No matter what S does, p) = (p, and for each action, A, that S can perform, if S were to perform A, it would still be the case that p).(538) 'N S p' is Huemer's replacement for van Inwagen's 'Np', for which Huemer considers and rejects various alternative interpretations
