Abstract
The transfer of necessity principle (the consequence of anecessary issue which itself is also necessary) is seen as the base of consequent argument vindicating the belief of incompatibility of free will with causal determinism. The fixity of deterministic laws dominating natural events and inevitable past accompanied by the transfer of necessity principle lead us to conclude that all events including those called human’s freely done actions are determined and inevitable. The current study, drawing on the important role of the transfer of necessity principle for incompatibility account is an attempt to review this principle. To this aim, we, at first, explain causal determinism and consequent argument. Then, following the perceiving the meaning of necessity upon incompatibilist view, we analyze the transfer of necessity principle. And finally we want to show how much the principle of necessity is bearable against the opposite counterexamples as well as with what interpretation is capable of responding to counterexamples and can be employed for consequent argument.
