Abstract

In this discussion, I argue that David Lewis fails to support his claim that (relative to one context) time-travelling Tim cannot kill his Grandfather in 1921. This result, in turn, undermines Lewis’s contextualist solution to the Grandfather Paradox – i.e., conceding that Tim can and cannot kill Grandfather, but relative to different contexts in each case.
