In a revision of her 2004 doctoral dissertation for Oxford University, Belo (philosophy, America U. Cairo) explores whether Avicenna, Ibn Sina, (d.428/1037) and Averroes, Ibn Rushd, (d.595/1198) are determinists and if so, in what way. She begins by looking at the problems of determinism and its treatment in history, and contemporary scholarship on determinism in the two influential Arabic philosophers. Then, taking each in turn, she focuses on their thoughts about chance, matter, and celestial causation.
