Divine Omniscience and Human Free Will

A Logical and Metaphysical Analysis

By: Ciro De Florio,Aldo Frigerio

This book deals with an old conundrum: if God knows what we will choose tomorrow, how can we be free to choose otherwise? If all our choices are already written, is our freedom simply an illusion? This book provides a precise analysis of this dilemma using the tools of modern metaphysics and logic of time. With a focus on three intertwined concepts - God’s nature, the formal structure of time, and the metaphysics time, including the relationship between temporal entities and a timeless God - the chapters analyse various solutions to the problem of foreknowledge and freedom, revealing the advantages and drawbacks of each. Building on this analysis, the authors advance constructive solutions, showing under what conditions an entity can be omniscient in the presence of free agents, and whether an eternal entity can know the tensed futures of the world. The metaphysics of time, its topology and the semantics of future tensed sentences are shown to be invaluable topics in dealing with this issue. Combining investigations into the metaphysics of time with the discipline of temporal logic this monograph brings about important advancements in the philosophical understanding of an ancient and fascinating problem. The answer, if any, is hidden in the folds of time, in the elusive nature of this feature of reality and in the infinite branching of our lives.

A Cognitive Analysis of the Main Apolline Divinatory Practices

Decoding Divination

By: Giulia Frigerio

This volume takes an innovative interdisciplinary approach to investigating divination procedures at sanctuaries of Apollo in Classical and Hellenistic Greece, merging neuroscience, psychology, and behavioural studies with archaeology. Through a deep analysis of primary sources and the historical and cultural context of these procedures, Frigerio reconstructs the precise schemata of knowledge and cognitive associations pertaining to ancient visitors of the Oracle, highlighting neural inputs they received inside their minds in these specific situations. The author engages with the archaeological record, studying the cognitive input that both seekers and prophets experienced from the outside world such as landscapes, architecture, and temperature. This innovative methodology allows for a new understanding of divinatory practices and the formulation of new hypotheses. In addition, this study offers a powerful tool for decoding divination and engaging with the archaeological record in future research. A Cognitive Analysis of the Main Apolline Divinatory Practices is a fascinating read for students and scholars working on divination and cognition in ancient Greek religion, and religion in the Classical and Hellenistic periods more broadly.

Peirce y el mundo clásico / Peirce and the Classical World

By: Flórez Restrepo, Jorge Alejandro,Nubiola Aguilar, Jaime,Brioschi, Maria Regina,Fernandez de Barrena Marchena, Sara Elena,Pechllivanidis, Christos,Frigerio, Christian

Este nuevo volumen de los cuadernos de sistemática Peirceana (CSP) está dedicado a la relación y diálogo entre la filosofía antigua y el pensamiento de Charles Sanders Peirce. Aunque esta relación es ampliamente reconocida, ha sido estudiada a poca profundidad. Por ello, este volumen de los Cuadernos de Sistemática Peirceana quiere profundizar en los estudios que hizo Peirce sobre la filosofía de Platón, Aristóteles, el Epicureísmo y el Estoicismo, pero también quiere poner en diálogo la propuesta del pensador norteamericano con las de aquellos filósofos antiguos. Las investigaciones aquí publicadas no se limitan a revisar los estudios de Peirce sobre las filosofías griegas y romanas, ni tampoco a develar las influencias de los pensadores antiguos sobre el norteamericano, sino que también, en varios casos, se evalúan el alcance y la validez de esos estudios e interpretaciones. This new volume of Cuadernos de Sistemática Peirceana (CSP) is dedicated to the relationship and dialogue between ancient philosophy and Charles Sanders Peirce's thought. Although this relationship is widely recognized, it has been studied in little depth. For this reason, this volume of Cuadernos wants to delve into the studies that Peirce did on the philosophy of Plato, Aristotle, Epicureanism, and Stoicism, but it also wants to put the proposal of the North American thinker in dialogue with those of those ancient philosophers. The researches published here are not only limited to review ing Peirce's studies on Greek and Roman philosophers, nor to reveal the influences of ancient thinkers on the North American thinker, but also, in several cases, the scope and validity of those studies and interpretations are evaluated.
