open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Avicenna's account of causal necessity in the natural world is a key part of his metaphysical system and it is also historically significant. Yet, there is little scholarly discussion of the philosophical basis of his view. This is surprising not only because the topic is important, but also because the view is challenging to interpret ...

open access: yesFuture Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
