Albert argues that the time asymmetry of counterfactual dependence arises from holding fixed the past physical law, the so-called "past hypothesis." Albert argues that the time asymmetry of counterfactual dependence arises from holding fixed the past hypothesis when evaluating Albert argues that holding the past hypothesis fixed in counterfactual reasoning gives rise to Albert argues that his account of the time asymmetry of counterfactual dependence Most past events, according to Albert, do not depend on our present decisions take a counterfactual state compatible with the past hypothesis that differs from the actual Holding fixed the past hypothesis then is not needed for Albert's account to explain So holding fixed the past hypothesis is doing no work in Albert's account of the time dependence of past events on agents' decisions in Frisch cases is always fragile? that in Frisch cases a past outcome counterfactually depends on the agent's decision because ./cache/work_67ladgm6lzgdfgmzoc7fg5gphq.pdf ./txt/work_67ladgm6lzgdfgmzoc7fg5gphq.txt
