- W1596959636 abstract "STUDIES IN MODALITY AND COSMOLOGY Plenitude and Possibility in the Late Ancient and Arabic Traditions Taneli Kukkonen University of Helsinki, FIN The thesis consists of six separately published articles and a summary. All deal in some form with occurrences in late Ancient and medieval Arabic philosophy of what is known as the “principle of Plenitude”. Professor Arthur O. Lovejoy, who coined the term in his 1936 study The Great Chain of Being, gave to the principle the formulation that “no genuine potentiality of being can remain unfulfilled”. While allusive, the formulation is rather vague. The notion that all possibilities find actualisation can be employed in various different ways in different conceptual contexts. In an argument, it can serve as a presupposition or as a conclusion; it can be grounded in modal logic, metaphysical concerns, or the theological precept that God is ultimately liberal. Sometimes the possibility is raised only in order to be disputed. All of these options were explored in the debates covered in these essays. In the late Ancient and Arabic periods, the treatment of modal notions was often tied in with cosmological issues. The discussions therefore touch upon such subjects as for instance the need for science to make necessary universal judgements. Among the philosophers whose thought is assessed are such figures as Proclus (d. 485), John Philoponus (d. 574), Avicenna (d. 1037), al-Ghazâli (d. 1111), and Averroes (d. 1198)." @default.
