Philosophy Lexicon of Arguments


Coincidence: coincidence is not the absence of a causal explanation, but the coinciding of several events, which were caused by independent causal chains. The determination of a coincidence belongs to the description level and may express the deviation from an expectation. The property of being accidental is not inherent to events. See also determinism, indeterminism, contingency, necessity, probability. _____________ Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
