Stearns, J. Brenton. “Becoming: A Problem for Determinists?”  Process Studies 6, no. 4 (Winter 1976): 237-248.

Abstract

A doctrine of central importance to process metaphysics (especially to Bergson, Capek, and Hartshorne, and probably also to James, Weiss, and Whitehead) is that the determinist contradicts himself when talking about a fully determinate future since actuality adds nothing to an entity's definiteness, to say that a future event is definite now is to say it is actual now--a contradiction.  I argue in reply that a determinist can consistently believe in an authentic future and that process metaphysics itself provides conceptual apparatus for thinking about the asymmetries of time without grounding itself on a flimsy refutation of determinism.  [Abstract from The Philosopher’s Index]
