Also, chapter 7, “Deriving Ought From Is”, doesn’t take into account an important difference between Newcomb’s Problem and One-Shot Prisoner’s Dilemma that I pointed out at http://lesswrong.com/lw/6r/newcombs_problem_vs_oneshot_prisoners_dilemma/. I think this is a fatal flaw for Drescher’s argument.
Thank you for these comments. I’ve been meaning to go through Drescher with a fine-toothed comb and write a review, but I’ll probably never have time.
