“…Varias discusiones en torno al campo semántico de la contingencia -que aquí solo puedo enumerar-continúan a partir de este punto por medio de distinciones como libertad/naturaleza (Scotus), contingencia/conocimiento (Robert Kildwarby, 1215-1279), contingencia/necesidad (William of Alnwick, 1275-1333), libertad/placer (Peter Auriol, 1280-1322), libertad/contingencia (Landolfo Caracciolo, 1280-1351), fatalismo/contingencia (William of Ockham, 1287-1347).

Contigency is a concept that that has been taken up by the humanist tradition, social theory and the sciences. It reveals the absence of a necessary structure in the word and, because of that, its incompleteness. This raises the question about the patterns that orient behavior within a context where all normative aspirations are understood as necessary against the background of contingency. By researching into the historical and modern semantics of the concept of contingency, I identify the origins of the concept in Aristotle's modal logic, then the separation between the contingency of the world and the necessity of god in the scholastics, and highlight the modern turn towards an immanent concept of contingency in Hegel, Meillassoux and the theory of evolution. On this basis, I put forward the idea of an ethics of contingency that provides relevant orientations for a world that is devoid of ultimate necessity. Crucially, an ethics of contingency prevents necessity to prevail over possibility and intervenes, through strategies of increasing contingency when this takes place.

The Trinity

The doctrine of the Trinity, proclaimed by Christians through the Nicene-Constantinople creed, is foundational to traditional Christian belief and worship of God. But is this doctrine logically coherent? How can there be three divine persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), each is God, and yet there is only one God? This is a fundamental question for philosophers, but theologians have additional questions. This Element addresses philosophical and theological issues concerning the Trinity: Hermeneutical and Logical problems, Personal Pronouns, Monarchy, Equality, the Greek vs. Latin filioque debate, Real Relations, Unity of Action, Self-Knowledge in the Trinity, and Simplicity. Based on my recent rediscovery of the sixth ecumenical council's (Constantinople III) clarifications of Trinitarian doctrine, this Element introduces Conciliar Trinitarianism and shows how it responds to the issues, including a resolution to the fundamental logical question. It also compares Conciliar Trinitarianism with Miaphysite, neo-Sabellian, Social, and other models of the Trinity.
