The problems of divine foreknowledge and future contingents can be put rather simply: how can God know the future without this entailing that the future come about necessarily? Chris Schabel's study dwells and expands upon this conundrum.
Chris Schabel presents a detailed analysis of the radical solution given by the Franciscan Peter Auriol to the problem of reconciling divine foreknowledge with the contingency of the future, and of contemporary reactions to it. Auriol''s solution appeared to many of his contemporaries to deny God''s knowledge of the future altogether, and so it provoked intense and long-lasting controversy; Schabel is the first to examine in detail the philosophical and theological background to Auriol''s discussion, and to provide a full analysis of Auriol''s own writings on the question and the immediate reactions to them. This book sheds new light both on one of the central philosophical debates of the Middle Ages, and on theology and philosophy at the University of Paris in the first half of the 14th century, a period of Parisian intellectual life which has been largely neglected until now.
