Abstract

In his treatise on predestination, Ockham discusses the philosophical riddles caused by this Christian dogma as a specific case of the problem of logical determinism. Ockham does not succeed in solving this problem, which is due to his semantic notion of truth as well as to a missing differentiation between an ontological and logical interpretation of contingency. These points lead to a number of ambivalences in his argumentation, which suggest that Ockham has the conditions of a possible solution available but his ontological parsimony inhibits their coherent implementation.
