Probabilities, Hypotheticals, and Counterfactuals in Ancient Greek Thought
Victoria Wohl
This book explores the conceptual terrain defined by the Greek word eikos: the probable, likely, or reasonable. Ranges from the plausible arguments of courtroom speakers to verisimilitude in art and literature, the likelihood of resemblance in human reproduction, the limits of human knowledge and the possibilities of ethical and political agency.
