Lawyers and debt collectors are classic examples of people you hire on contingency. The idea is to hire someone with payment contingent on the fruits of their labor. You don't pay them if you don't win, i.e., if you yourself don't get paid. And if you luck out, they share in the windfall.

Studia Logica, 1988
This paper explores conditions under which necessity, Lp, can be defined in terms of non-contingency, \(\Delta\) p (where \(\Delta\) \(p\equiv Lp\vee L\sim p\) must always be true). For systems containing T a defnition is easy, viz. \(L\alpha\) \(=_{df}\alpha \&\Delta \alpha\), because of the axiom Lp\(\supset p\).

Tales of Contingency, Contingencies of Telling
2012This chapter examines whether mathematics can help us model aesthetic contingency, and hence create narrative subjectivity. It begins by considering narrative subjectivity as a hard-wired feature of narrative representation and how this feature reflects the post-Enlightenment view of human existence that replaced the old belief in Providence with a new

Unforeseen contingencies [PDF]
, 2002 We develop a model of unforeseen contingencies. These are contingencies that are understood by economic agents – their consequences and probabilities are known – but are such that every description of such events necessarily leaves out relevant features that have a non-negligible impact on the parties' expected utilities.

Contingent Supposits and Contingent Substances
2014A substance is supposed to be that which exists per se, where per se can be understood in a literal way as through oneself, by oneself, or on its own. The chapter provides some further defense of the claim that Scotus thinks that some substances can be parts.

Contingent Diversity, Contingent Faculty
2016In this Wilson Santos, a relative newcomer to the academy, discusses how he came to understand the exploitative nature of contingent faculty. Santos' narrative is more about class than race, though his writing and teaching reflect his experiences as a man of color. Folded into Santos' stories are the experiences of two other adjunct faculty.
