Fortune and Fate from Democritus to St. Thomas Aquinas

Fortune and Fate from Democritus to St. Thomas Aquinas is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical concepts of fortune and fate from ancient Greek philosopher Democritus to medieval theologian St. Thomas Aquinas. The book delves into the various interpretations and theories surrounding these concepts, including those of Aristotle, Epicurus, and the Stoics. It also examines the influence of these ideas on later philosophical and theological thought, such as the works of Augustine and Boethius. The author, Vincent Cioffari, provides a thorough analysis of the historical and intellectual context of each philosopher's ideas and their impact on the development of Western philosophy.
