This is somewhat related to my previous question, here: Is the nature of morality counterfactual?. If morality is counterfactual, what would a necessitarian point of view imply about it? Since necessitarians do not believe in counterfactuals, would that mean a necessitarian does not believe in the existence of morality? This does not mean a necessitarian would behave immorally, just that there is no such thing as morality, because morality is a counterfactual theory. But has any philosopher argued that the existence of morality is compatible with necessitarianism?

    Well, there probably aren't many necessitarians around these days. But you can still do counterfactuals if you are a necessitarian, because you don't need "possible worlds" to frame counterfactuals. You just need to trace the consequences of a causal model. See Judea Pearl. – causative Aug 24 '23 at 01:37
