In Walter Chatton on Future Contingents, Jon Bornholdt presents the
first full-length translation, commentary, and analysis of the
various attempts by Chatton (14th century C.E.) to solve the
ancient problem of the status and significance of statements about
the future. At issue is the danger of so-called logical
determinism: if it is true now that a human will perform a given
action tomorrow, is that human truly free to perform or refrain
from performing that action? Bornholdt shows that Chatton
constructed an original (though problematic) formal analysis that
enabled him to canvass various approaches to the problem at
different stages of his career, at all times showing an unusual
sensitivity to the tension between formalist and metaphysical types
of solution.
