Os futuros contingentes no comentário ao De interpretatione e na Concordia de Luis de Molina (1535-1600)

Abstract

This paper analyses the discussion on contingent futures in the commentary on De interpretatione by the Jesuit Luis de Molina (1535- 1600). This commentary, written in 1563, is one of the author's earliest texts and is particularly important because it discusses Aristotle's positions on contingency and introduces the issues, arguments and early developments of the theological doctrines that he would later defend during his time in Évora, culminating in the publication of Concordia liberi arbitrii cum gratiae donis, divina praescientia, providentia, praedestinatione et reprobatione (1588).
