The Aristotelian-Thomistic Concept Of Chance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163138151)

The Aristotelian-Thomistic Concept of Chance by M. Julienne Junkersfeld is a scholarly exploration of the concept of chance as it is understood in the philosophical traditions of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas. The book begins by examining the ancient Greek understanding of chance, which was seen as a force that could disrupt the order of the universe. Aristotle rejected this view and proposed that chance events were actually the result of natural causes that were not fully understood. Thomas Aquinas built on Aristotle's ideas, arguing that chance events were ultimately part of God's plan for the universe.Junkersfeld provides a detailed analysis of the Aristotelian and Thomistic concepts of chance, exploring their similarities and differences. She also examines the ways in which these ideas have been applied in various fields, including physics, biology, and theology. Throughout the book, Junkersfeld emphasizes the importance of understanding the concept of chance in order to fully appreciate the complexity and beauty of the natural world.The Aristotelian-Thomistic Concept of Chance is a rigorous and thought-provoking work that will appeal to scholars and students of philosophy, theology, and the natural sciences. It offers a fresh perspective on a timeless philosophical question and provides a deeper understanding of the relationship between chance and order in the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
