At issue is the danger of so-called logical determinism: if it is true now that a human will perform a given action tomorrow, is that human truly free to perform or refrain from performing that action? Bornholdt shows that Chatton constructed an original (though problematic) formal analysis that enabled him to canvass various approaches to the problem at different stages of his career, at all times showing an unusual sensitivity to the tension between formalist and metaphysical types of solution.Investigating medieval philosophy ;Volume 11.Philosophy, MedievalFuture contingents (Logic)Free will and determinismPhilosophical theologyPhilosophy, Medieval.Future contingents (Logic)Free will and determinism.Philosophical theology.123Bornholdt Jon1687081MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818021103321Walter Chatton on future contingents4060283UNINA
