The notion of randomness from Aristotle to Poincaré

O. B. Sheynin (1991)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Aristotle and even earlier scientist and philosophers attempted to define, or at least to through light upon randomness. The author sketches the attempts to direct concept of randomness into the realm of mathematical science from Aristotle up to Poincaré. He dwells on the various interpretations of randomness that were pronounced in natural science and philosophy, and on the interrelation between necessity and randomness.
