Foreknowledge and Free Will: Three Theories in the 'Nun's Priest's Tale'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 10 (1976): 201-19.
- Description
- In NPT, the thrust of the satire on the relation between foreknowledge and free will is that theories like Bishop Bradwardine's simple necessity, St. Augustine's paradox, and, most notably, Boethius' conditional necessity are too abstract and artificial to account for the complexity of real life situations.
