The Problem of Divine Foreknowledge and Future Contingents from Aristotle to Suarez

5.0 / 5.0

The present work attempts to present in-depth case studies of the views of eight of the most important thinkers who have dealt with the problem of theological fatalism. It is not intended to be a history of the debate nor to catalogue all the various options proffered as solutions to the problem. Indeed, my primary interest is in seeing how Christian thinkers committed both to divine knowledge of the future and to freedom reconcile those commitments. It is for this reason that the otherwise interesting contribution of a thinker like Gersonides, who denied the validity of the Principle of Bivalence for future contingent propositions and consequently God's knowledge of future contingents, is left aside. Our interest lies with those philosophers or theologians who wanted to adhere both to future contingency and God's knowledge of such events.
