David Lewis.
Was a prominent analytic philosopher. One of his most influential ideas revolved around the concept of possible worlds.
Lewis believed there is an infinite number of possible worlds, each different from our own to different degrees. An important feature of these possible worlds is that we can compare them based on their relative distance from our real world.
This feature was the basis for many of Lewis's theories - for example, Lewis believed that event A is a cause of event B if and only if, in the closest possible world where A didn't occur, B didn't occur either.

Peter Van Inwagen.
Presented a famous challenge to free will. If we assume that evrything has a cause (that is, we accept Determinism), it means our current actions also has causes in the past - and these causes has other causes that occurred prior to them. We can easily see that this goes ad nauseam until we reach causes which occured before we were born. This means that our current actions are dictated by factors beyond our control, meaning we have no free will to act.
