TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - What's a chance event? Contrasting different senses of 'chance' with Aristotle's idea of meaningful unusual accidents JO - Rev. Archai A1 - Maar, Alexander SP - e03203 EP - e03203 VL - 32 IS - N2 - In this article, we present and explain ten different possible meanings of a chance event - some ontological, some epistemic - and provide examples whenever possible. We describe and illustrate more carefully the view of chance (tyche) expressed by Aristotle in his Physics, a demanding and complex notion, and critically contrast it with the other senses examined, attempting to determine any (in)compatibilism.
