Her research interests focus on History and Metaphysics of Science, with particular interest in causation, causal models, chance and realism. One of her most recent publications concerning these topics, “Cournot’s Notion of Hasard: An Objective Conception of Chance”, appeared in December 2017 in Axiomathes. She is currently working on metaphysics of coincidences (see "On the Nature of Coincidental Events" with P. Salis, in Axiomathes, 2020), the relation between coincidences with causation and other notions of chance. She has also been a teacher of History and Philosophy in the High School for almost a decade, and she works on didactic methodologies, as well as scientific communication and dissemination. Her last publication on this subject, “Scienza in Piazza 2019: Le Cause delle Cose”, appeared on June 2020.<br /><div class="js-profile-less-about u-linkUnstyled u-tcGrayDarker

Nécessité, one of the most influential books in the story of Biology, Jacques Monod presents his non-teleological evolutionary biological theory. Starting from the ideawhich someone ascribes to Democritusthat everything existing in the Universe is the fruit of chance and necessity, Monod maintains that each alteration in the DNA happens by chance. Hence, chanceaccording to Monodis the origin of every novelty happening in the biosphere, and then the driving force of the evolution. But which conception of chance is at the core of Monod's non-teleological theory? According to Monod, chance events are the result of the intersection between different processes that belong to independent causal chains. These accidental events are called \"absolute coincidences\". Despite its importance, this coincidental notion of chance is quite neglected in contemporary literature and it seems to eschew a precise definition. This study takes into proper consideration this conception of chance and tries to shed new light on it. More precisely, the main attempt of this survey is to endorse the idea that Monod's coincidental notion of chance is ontic, that is it does not depend only on our practical impossibility to have a complete knowledge about the phenomena observed. A central role in the discussion will be given to the independence between the intersecting causal chains, which is at the centre of this conception of chance. As I will show, the typology of the independence plays an important part in providing a distinction between an ontic notion of coincidences and a methodological one.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2014,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":106098435},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/107429911/ATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014_1337","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2023-09-30T23:35:52.847-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":56562694,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":106098435,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106098435/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"PHI2014-1337.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106098435/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"ATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106098435/PHI2014-1337-libre.pdf?1696143387=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=T96FoBfE3mcYlFAatSwYH9rLLmMzGhjNxKRc3~~4~pqhIKYCsl~ZLnwIEmMXlnwJYs2yNn-CpKO3B6XjZWmvpLBOXAIauLzW4GvQxzhYnO9H0vzP9CvOrWSOQGSlONoccz7pcR2QquAmA1QAZTM8LWjZzM83R-kuVwKPEuJVqK-yKw49tCRbbKIuwYUiC~0pdzR3LczGGawUqvqAwLhYX3qd9Ntz84DyQ-FF-NIVqG0kkg3dMvMqrS6K-3feITZKs~dqSyl-kksTk4CbdwahKE9likl168td4oOMjFNfY~D6Ks4E9C2GzdH9WilmKC1qUmqcAmuXyy~OohiZvxn5bg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"ATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014_1337","translated_slug":"","page_count":15,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":56562694,"first_name":"Alessandra","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Melas","page_name":"AlessandraMelas","domain_name":"uniss","created_at":"2016-11-13T06:47:04.094-08:00","display_name":"Alessandra Melas","url":"https://uniss.academia.edu/AlessandraMelas"},"attachments":[{"id":106098435,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106098435/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"PHI2014-1337.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106098435/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"ATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106098435/PHI2014-1337-libre.pdf?1696143387=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=T96FoBfE3mcYlFAatSwYH9rLLmMzGhjNxKRc3~~4~pqhIKYCsl~ZLnwIEmMXlnwJYs2yNn-CpKO3B6XjZWmvpLBOXAIauLzW4GvQxzhYnO9H0vzP9CvOrWSOQGSlONoccz7pcR2QquAmA1QAZTM8LWjZzM83R-kuVwKPEuJVqK-yKw49tCRbbKIuwYUiC~0pdzR3LczGGawUqvqAwLhYX3qd9Ntz84DyQ-FF-NIVqG0kkg3dMvMqrS6K-3feITZKs~dqSyl-kksTk4CbdwahKE9likl168td4oOMjFNfY~D6Ks4E9C2GzdH9WilmKC1qUmqcAmuXyy~OohiZvxn5bg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":803,"name":"Philosophy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Philosophy"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

This coincidental notion of chance is not a new one, but-as Cournot remarks-it comes from Saint Thomas Aquinas, Boethius, and more probably from Jean de La Placette. Such a conception of chance phenomena seems to be very important, not only because it is closely related to the Principle of Causality, but also since it grounds Cournot's theory of objective probability. Starting from Martin's work (Probabilités et Critique Philosophique selon Cournot. Vrin, Paris, 1996), the main attempt of this survey is to endorse the idea that Cournot's coincidental notion of hasard is objective, that is it is ontic (i.e. it comes from some real feature of the world) and it does not dependin some sense-on our degree of knowledge. In order to do that, a central role in the discussion will be given to the meaning of the independence between the intersecting causal chains and to Cournot's conception of causation.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2017,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Axiomathes","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":106098424},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/107429875/Cournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective_Conception_of_Chance","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2023-09-30T23:35:24.533-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":56562694,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":106098424,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106098424/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s10516-017-9333-720231001-1-fo8sln.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106098424/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Cournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106098424/s10516-017-9333-720231001-1-fo8sln-libre.pdf?1696143386=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DCournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=fHh2QBnIKI1wauyuexRjC~bLeOftF~KDiXqNh2tYsp8onFBCiGAfHzCPC0BJ8FdBPVNEFH442ixgBPiPAdo89~n8HXx5Nelwpg0P7JH4R3MGCBuW8TcS-IounEPgxjnHtzpNk5nHplH6lbHNxEJwlshx2ZEz-LS5PptX~mWqAWYfst5SByt9bS-nFMVOD6SwgJ-r9mPH75lb1Du0mneO2usrqzQuYT71MSbHOiyhzvVHAHW7VWsXkuP86UtKetmndTcdc32oEO8ZBIKB60QcUoThJuYxGcWqahbWhjdIvr-WSPTknw78-epQBE2in3WB5zSNv4--H6JEGruTcJRttg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Cournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective_Conception_of_Chance","translated_slug":"","page_count":13,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":56562694,"first_name":"Alessandra","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Melas","page_name":"AlessandraMelas","domain_name":"uniss","created_at":"2016-11-13T06:47:04.094-08:00","display_name":"Alessandra Melas","url":"https://uniss.academia.edu/AlessandraMelas"},"attachments":[{"id":106098424,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106098424/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s10516-017-9333-720231001-1-fo8sln.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106098424/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Cournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106098424/s10516-017-9333-720231001-1-fo8sln-libre.pdf?1696143386=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DCournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=fHh2QBnIKI1wauyuexRjC~bLeOftF~KDiXqNh2tYsp8onFBCiGAfHzCPC0BJ8FdBPVNEFH442ixgBPiPAdo89~n8HXx5Nelwpg0P7JH4R3MGCBuW8TcS-IounEPgxjnHtzpNk5nHplH6lbHNxEJwlshx2ZEz-LS5PptX~mWqAWYfst5SByt9bS-nFMVOD6SwgJ-r9mPH75lb1Du0mneO2usrqzQuYT71MSbHOiyhzvVHAHW7VWsXkuP86UtKetmndTcdc32oEO8ZBIKB60QcUoThJuYxGcWqahbWhjdIvr-WSPTknw78-epQBE2in3WB5zSNv4--H6JEGruTcJRttg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":749,"name":"Mathematical Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mathematical_Economics"},{"id":803,"name":"Philosophy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Philosophy"},{"id":815,"name":"Epistemology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Epistemology"},{"id":8220,"name":"Causation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Causation"},{"id":46571,"name":"Chance","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Chance"},{"id":64833,"name":"Realism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Realism"},{"id":542558,"name":"Probabilistic Theories of Causation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Probabilistic_Theories_of_Causation"},{"id":2657691,"name":"Cournot Competition","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cournot_Competition"},{"id":4054554,"name":"Ontic","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ontic"}],"urls":[{"id":34193009,"url":"http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10516-017-9333-7.pdf"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

More precisely, starting from Hart and Honoré's view of coincidental events (Hart and Honoré in Causation in the Law. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1959), this paper furnishes a more detailed account on the nature of coincidences, according to which coincidental events are hybrids constituted by ontic (physical) components, that is the intersections between independent causal chains, plus epistemic aspects; where by ''epistemic'' we mean what is related, in some sense, to knowledge: for example, access to information, but also expectations, relevance, significance, that is psychological aspects. In particular, this paper investigates the role of the epistemic aspects in our understanding of what coincidences are. In fact, although the independence between the causal lines involved plays a crucial role in understanding coincidental events, that condition results to be insufficient to give a satisfactory definition of coincidences. The main target of the present work is to show that the epistemic aspects of coincidences are, together with the independence between the intersecting causal chains, a constitutive part of coincidental phenomena. Many examples are offered throughout this paper to enforce this idea. This conception, despite-for example-Antoine Augustine Cournot and Jacques Monod's view, entails that a pure objectivist view about coincidences is not tenable.","publication_date":{"day":17,"month":9,"year":2020,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Axiomathes","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":93523580},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/89775435/On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-11-02T03:40:06.290-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":56562694,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":93523580,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/93523580/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s10516-020-09517-4.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/93523580/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/93523580/s10516-020-09517-4-libre.pdf?1667393116=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DOn_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=baQbn7lBuEYh0RNPQPmm-oklRWOOU1~ozN253Gx9upuL4dSbCnNW-4FSoqseFnzdl~IQaZpYC0Sf4uFo2W4CoQcPM5Cbdg1~lyvKRly2syCmmqTKRwSrp-uSwbcTYqoRqu4BAbsSmfeqUzD~BRJP88K2XnVUooxL2WkcIgz2HhrDj5dEwXtP~WgYZG4lf3e82d5MPkiVGTHYiuHL5H-0Kf2W8zbf4nBtQt5Tr8-BK1bIQUAvWMVIF-fyT1elJZGrV6FSIwiRM~-ipBvr15CGEh~hVlKkIDbz7Sm8B-YxHL2mCTfXW9IoyekTYMF8ud3CNPjSuLfqkiK-NOWTkU5JKg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events","translated_slug":"","page_count":26,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":56562694,"first_name":"Alessandra","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Melas","page_name":"AlessandraMelas","domain_name":"uniss","created_at":"2016-11-13T06:47:04.094-08:00","display_name":"Alessandra Melas","url":"https://uniss.academia.edu/AlessandraMelas"},"attachments":[{"id":93523580,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/93523580/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s10516-020-09517-4.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/93523580/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/93523580/s10516-020-09517-4-libre.pdf?1667393116=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DOn_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=baQbn7lBuEYh0RNPQPmm-oklRWOOU1~ozN253Gx9upuL4dSbCnNW-4FSoqseFnzdl~IQaZpYC0Sf4uFo2W4CoQcPM5Cbdg1~lyvKRly2syCmmqTKRwSrp-uSwbcTYqoRqu4BAbsSmfeqUzD~BRJP88K2XnVUooxL2WkcIgz2HhrDj5dEwXtP~WgYZG4lf3e82d5MPkiVGTHYiuHL5H-0Kf2W8zbf4nBtQt5Tr8-BK1bIQUAvWMVIF-fyT1elJZGrV6FSIwiRM~-ipBvr15CGEh~hVlKkIDbz7Sm8B-YxHL2mCTfXW9IoyekTYMF8ud3CNPjSuLfqkiK-NOWTkU5JKg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":221,"name":"Psychology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Psychology"},{"id":803,"name":"Philosophy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Philosophy"},{"id":804,"name":"Metaphysics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Metaphysics"},{"id":805,"name":"Ontology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ontology"},{"id":815,"name":"Epistemology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Epistemology"},{"id":8220,"name":"Causation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Causation"},{"id":12163,"name":"Augustin Cournot","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Augustin_Cournot"},{"id":15087,"name":"Explanation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Explanation"},{"id":46571,"name":"Chance","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Chance"},{"id":84607,"name":"Coincidences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Coincidences"},{"id":85813,"name":"Honor","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Honor"},{"id":501827,"name":"H.

In particular, this paper investigates the role of t...","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/85237374/On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-08-20T15:03:29.110-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":56562694,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":89997284,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/89997284/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s10516-020-09517-4.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/89997284/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/89997284/s10516-020-09517-4-libre.pdf?1661034550=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DOn_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=df6iE8OObEFAOxaMrryFrpKbn911jIxvKGhNdauXCu37OhsYQAIXL289rYF5cfDlEcfEc~t39BlxIkypFz9HqSPF4P5hOJ2B1kQ2zBlR3ZTJvfOLGPMzVJnX0e5IhBrP96cobOktO21t9Y3HGh4ZAZkyg-gFULt06yOg-mNVpESxYk5ucA9VAxoBDmFa03~fMGYBnBYZiqvKBJFvj4bEGPOv8Yad~Ewa75kMjg7OHFMHaWDbXqZKL1Y7m4qshxKAmA4M10FuEZVd51R68AjR7aliM~UH2gSmV~WzQePLaD6IH0QaPM15Gj5NXRGR4ZRvsBXw2~ytub9pbkZ7XPlnOA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events","translated_slug":"","page_count":26,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":56562694,"first_name":"Alessandra","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Melas","page_name":"AlessandraMelas","domain_name":"uniss","created_at":"2016-11-13T06:47:04.094-08:00","display_name":"Alessandra Melas","url":"https://uniss.academia.edu/AlessandraMelas"},"attachments":[{"id":89997284,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/89997284/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s10516-020-09517-4.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/89997284/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/89997284/s10516-020-09517-4-libre.pdf?1661034550=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DOn_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=df6iE8OObEFAOxaMrryFrpKbn911jIxvKGhNdauXCu37OhsYQAIXL289rYF5cfDlEcfEc~t39BlxIkypFz9HqSPF4P5hOJ2B1kQ2zBlR3ZTJvfOLGPMzVJnX0e5IhBrP96cobOktO21t9Y3HGh4ZAZkyg-gFULt06yOg-mNVpESxYk5ucA9VAxoBDmFa03~fMGYBnBYZiqvKBJFvj4bEGPOv8Yad~Ewa75kMjg7OHFMHaWDbXqZKL1Y7m4qshxKAmA4M10FuEZVd51R68AjR7aliM~UH2gSmV~WzQePLaD6IH0QaPM15Gj5NXRGR4ZRvsBXw2~ytub9pbkZ7XPlnOA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":804,"name":"Metaphysics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Metaphysics"},{"id":805,"name":"Ontology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ontology"},{"id":815,"name":"Epistemology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Epistemology"},{"id":8220,"name":"Causation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Causation"},{"id":12163,"name":"Augustin Cournot","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Augustin_Cournot"},{"id":15087,"name":"Explanation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Explanation"},{"id":46571,"name":"Chance","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Chance"},{"id":84607,"name":"Coincidences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Coincidences"},{"id":501827,"name":"H.

Conversely, according to a causal view of chance, intersections between independent causal chains originate accidental events, called ''coincidences.'' The present paper takes into proper consideration this causal conception of chance and tries to shed new light on it. More precisely, starting from Hart and Honoré's view of coincidental events (Hart and Honoré in Causation in the Law. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1959), this paper furnishes a more detailed account on the nature of coincidences, according to which coincidental events are hybrids constituted by ontic (physical) components, that is the intersections between independent causal chains, plus epistemic aspects; where by ''epistemic'' we mean what is related, in some sense, to knowledge: for example, access to information, but also expectations , relevance, significance, that is psychological aspects. In particular, this paper investigates the role of the epistemic aspects in our understanding of what coincidences are. In fact, although the independence between the causal lines involved plays a crucial role in understanding coincidental events, that condition results to be insufficient to give a satisfactory definition of coincidences. The main target of the present work is to show that the epistemic aspects of coincidences are, together with the independence between the intersecting causal chains, a constitutive part of coincidental phenomena. Many examples are offered throughout this paper to enforce this idea. This conception, despite-for example-Antoine Augustine Cournot and Jacques Monod's view, entails that a pure objectivist view about coincidences is not tenable.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="1e064e6bde68d86cd80b1757650c39ac" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":64460700,"asset_id":44112223,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/64460700/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44112223"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44112223"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44112223; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44112223]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44112223]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44112223; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='44112223']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 44112223, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "1e064e6bde68d86cd80b1757650c39ac" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=44112223]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":44112223,"title":"On the Nature of Coincidental Events","translated_title":"","metadata":{"doi":"10.1007/s10516-020-09517-4","issue":"1","volume":"32","abstract":"It is a common opinion that chance events cannot be understood in causal terms.

Starting from the ideawhich someone ascribes to Democritusthat everything existing in the Universe is the fruit of chance and necessity, Monod maintains that each alteration in the DNA happens by chance. Hence, chanceaccording to Monodis the origin of every novelty happening in the biosphere, and then the driving force of the evolution. But which conception of chance is at the core of Monod's non-teleological theory? According to Monod, chance events are the result of the intersection between different processes that belong to independent causal chains. These accidental events are called \"absolute coincidences\". Despite its importance, this coincidental notion of chance is quite neglected in contemporary literature and it seems to eschew a precise definition. This study takes into proper consideration this conception of chance and tries to shed new light on it. More precisely, the main attempt of this survey is to endorse the idea that Monod's coincidental notion of chance is ontic, that is it does not depend only on our practical impossibility to have a complete knowledge about the phenomena observed. A central role in the discussion will be given to the independence between the intersecting causal chains, which is at the centre of this conception of chance. As I will show, the typology of the independence plays an important part in providing a distinction between an ontic notion of coincidences and a methodological one.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2014,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":106098435},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/107429911/ATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014_1337","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2023-09-30T23:35:52.847-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":56562694,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":106098435,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106098435/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"PHI2014-1337.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106098435/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"ATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106098435/PHI2014-1337-libre.pdf?1696143387=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=T96FoBfE3mcYlFAatSwYH9rLLmMzGhjNxKRc3~~4~pqhIKYCsl~ZLnwIEmMXlnwJYs2yNn-CpKO3B6XjZWmvpLBOXAIauLzW4GvQxzhYnO9H0vzP9CvOrWSOQGSlONoccz7pcR2QquAmA1QAZTM8LWjZzM83R-kuVwKPEuJVqK-yKw49tCRbbKIuwYUiC~0pdzR3LczGGawUqvqAwLhYX3qd9Ntz84DyQ-FF-NIVqG0kkg3dMvMqrS6K-3feITZKs~dqSyl-kksTk4CbdwahKE9likl168td4oOMjFNfY~D6Ks4E9C2GzdH9WilmKC1qUmqcAmuXyy~OohiZvxn5bg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"ATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014_1337","translated_slug":"","page_count":15,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":56562694,"first_name":"Alessandra","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Melas","page_name":"AlessandraMelas","domain_name":"uniss","created_at":"2016-11-13T06:47:04.094-08:00","display_name":"Alessandra Melas","url":"https://uniss.academia.edu/AlessandraMelas"},"attachments":[{"id":106098435,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106098435/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"PHI2014-1337.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106098435/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"ATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106098435/PHI2014-1337-libre.pdf?1696143387=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DATINERs_Conference_Paper_Series_PHI2014.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=T96FoBfE3mcYlFAatSwYH9rLLmMzGhjNxKRc3~~4~pqhIKYCsl~ZLnwIEmMXlnwJYs2yNn-CpKO3B6XjZWmvpLBOXAIauLzW4GvQxzhYnO9H0vzP9CvOrWSOQGSlONoccz7pcR2QquAmA1QAZTM8LWjZzM83R-kuVwKPEuJVqK-yKw49tCRbbKIuwYUiC~0pdzR3LczGGawUqvqAwLhYX3qd9Ntz84DyQ-FF-NIVqG0kkg3dMvMqrS6K-3feITZKs~dqSyl-kksTk4CbdwahKE9likl168td4oOMjFNfY~D6Ks4E9C2GzdH9WilmKC1qUmqcAmuXyy~OohiZvxn5bg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":803,"name":"Philosophy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Philosophy"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

This coincidental notion of chance is not a new one, but-as Cournot remarks-it comes from Saint Thomas Aquinas, Boethius, and more probably from Jean de La Placette. Such a conception of chance phenomena seems to be very important, not only because it is closely related to the Principle of Causality, but also since it grounds Cournot's theory of objective probability. Starting from Martin's work (Probabilités et Critique Philosophique selon Cournot. Vrin, Paris, 1996), the main attempt of this survey is to endorse the idea that Cournot's coincidental notion of hasard is objective, that is it is ontic (i.e. it comes from some real feature of the world) and it does not dependin some sense-on our degree of knowledge. In order to do that, a central role in the discussion will be given to the meaning of the independence between the intersecting causal chains and to Cournot's conception of causation.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2017,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Axiomathes","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":106098424},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/107429875/Cournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective_Conception_of_Chance","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2023-09-30T23:35:24.533-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":56562694,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":106098424,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106098424/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s10516-017-9333-720231001-1-fo8sln.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106098424/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Cournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106098424/s10516-017-9333-720231001-1-fo8sln-libre.pdf?1696143386=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DCournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=fHh2QBnIKI1wauyuexRjC~bLeOftF~KDiXqNh2tYsp8onFBCiGAfHzCPC0BJ8FdBPVNEFH442ixgBPiPAdo89~n8HXx5Nelwpg0P7JH4R3MGCBuW8TcS-IounEPgxjnHtzpNk5nHplH6lbHNxEJwlshx2ZEz-LS5PptX~mWqAWYfst5SByt9bS-nFMVOD6SwgJ-r9mPH75lb1Du0mneO2usrqzQuYT71MSbHOiyhzvVHAHW7VWsXkuP86UtKetmndTcdc32oEO8ZBIKB60QcUoThJuYxGcWqahbWhjdIvr-WSPTknw78-epQBE2in3WB5zSNv4--H6JEGruTcJRttg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Cournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective_Conception_of_Chance","translated_slug":"","page_count":13,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":56562694,"first_name":"Alessandra","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Melas","page_name":"AlessandraMelas","domain_name":"uniss","created_at":"2016-11-13T06:47:04.094-08:00","display_name":"Alessandra Melas","url":"https://uniss.academia.edu/AlessandraMelas"},"attachments":[{"id":106098424,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106098424/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s10516-017-9333-720231001-1-fo8sln.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106098424/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Cournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106098424/s10516-017-9333-720231001-1-fo8sln-libre.pdf?1696143386=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DCournot_s_Notion_of_Hasard_An_Objective.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=fHh2QBnIKI1wauyuexRjC~bLeOftF~KDiXqNh2tYsp8onFBCiGAfHzCPC0BJ8FdBPVNEFH442ixgBPiPAdo89~n8HXx5Nelwpg0P7JH4R3MGCBuW8TcS-IounEPgxjnHtzpNk5nHplH6lbHNxEJwlshx2ZEz-LS5PptX~mWqAWYfst5SByt9bS-nFMVOD6SwgJ-r9mPH75lb1Du0mneO2usrqzQuYT71MSbHOiyhzvVHAHW7VWsXkuP86UtKetmndTcdc32oEO8ZBIKB60QcUoThJuYxGcWqahbWhjdIvr-WSPTknw78-epQBE2in3WB5zSNv4--H6JEGruTcJRttg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":749,"name":"Mathematical Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mathematical_Economics"},{"id":803,"name":"Philosophy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Philosophy"},{"id":815,"name":"Epistemology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Epistemology"},{"id":8220,"name":"Causation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Causation"},{"id":46571,"name":"Chance","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Chance"},{"id":64833,"name":"Realism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Realism"},{"id":542558,"name":"Probabilistic Theories of Causation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Probabilistic_Theories_of_Causation"},{"id":2657691,"name":"Cournot Competition","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cournot_Competition"},{"id":4054554,"name":"Ontic","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ontic"}],"urls":[{"id":34193009,"url":"http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10516-017-9333-7.pdf"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Conversely, according to a causal view of chance, intersections between independent causal chains originate accidental events, called ''coincidences.'' The present paper takes into proper consideration this causal conception of chance and tries to shed new light on it. More precisely, starting from Hart and Honoré's view of coincidental events (Hart and Honoré in Causation in the Law. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1959), this paper furnishes a more detailed account on the nature of coincidences, according to which coincidental events are hybrids constituted by ontic (physical) components, that is the intersections between independent causal chains, plus epistemic aspects; where by ''epistemic'' we mean what is related, in some sense, to knowledge: for example, access to information, but also expectations, relevance, significance, that is psychological aspects. In particular, this paper investigates the role of the epistemic aspects in our understanding of what coincidences are. In fact, although the independence between the causal lines involved plays a crucial role in understanding coincidental events, that condition results to be insufficient to give a satisfactory definition of coincidences. The main target of the present work is to show that the epistemic aspects of coincidences are, together with the independence between the intersecting causal chains, a constitutive part of coincidental phenomena. Many examples are offered throughout this paper to enforce this idea. This conception, despite-for example-Antoine Augustine Cournot and Jacques Monod's view, entails that a pure objectivist view about coincidences is not tenable.","publication_date":{"day":17,"month":9,"year":2020,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Axiomathes","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":93523580},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/89775435/On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-11-02T03:40:06.290-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":56562694,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":93523580,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/93523580/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s10516-020-09517-4.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/93523580/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/93523580/s10516-020-09517-4-libre.pdf?1667393116=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DOn_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=baQbn7lBuEYh0RNPQPmm-oklRWOOU1~ozN253Gx9upuL4dSbCnNW-4FSoqseFnzdl~IQaZpYC0Sf4uFo2W4CoQcPM5Cbdg1~lyvKRly2syCmmqTKRwSrp-uSwbcTYqoRqu4BAbsSmfeqUzD~BRJP88K2XnVUooxL2WkcIgz2HhrDj5dEwXtP~WgYZG4lf3e82d5MPkiVGTHYiuHL5H-0Kf2W8zbf4nBtQt5Tr8-BK1bIQUAvWMVIF-fyT1elJZGrV6FSIwiRM~-ipBvr15CGEh~hVlKkIDbz7Sm8B-YxHL2mCTfXW9IoyekTYMF8ud3CNPjSuLfqkiK-NOWTkU5JKg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events","translated_slug":"","page_count":26,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":56562694,"first_name":"Alessandra","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Melas","page_name":"AlessandraMelas","domain_name":"uniss","created_at":"2016-11-13T06:47:04.094-08:00","display_name":"Alessandra Melas","url":"https://uniss.academia.edu/AlessandraMelas"},"attachments":[{"id":93523580,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/93523580/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s10516-020-09517-4.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/93523580/download_file?st=MTczMjc1MjMwMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc1MjMwMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"On_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/93523580/s10516-020-09517-4-libre.pdf?1667393116=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DOn_the_Nature_of_Coincidental_Events.pdf\u0026Expires=1732755902\u0026Signature=baQbn7lBuEYh0RNPQPmm-oklRWOOU1~ozN253Gx9upuL4dSbCnNW-4FSoqseFnzdl~IQaZpYC0Sf4uFo2W4CoQcPM5Cbdg1~lyvKRly2syCmmqTKRwSrp-uSwbcTYqoRqu4BAbsSmfeqUzD~BRJP88K2XnVUooxL2WkcIgz2HhrDj5dEwXtP~WgYZG4lf3e82d5MPkiVGTHYiuHL5H-0Kf2W8zbf4nBtQt5Tr8-BK1bIQUAvWMVIF-fyT1elJZGrV6FSIwiRM~-ipBvr15CGEh~hVlKkIDbz7Sm8B-YxHL2mCTfXW9IoyekTYMF8ud3CNPjSuLfqkiK-NOWTkU5JKg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":221,"name":"Psychology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Psychology"},{"id":803,"name":"Philosophy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Philosophy"},{"id":804,"name":"Metaphysics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Metaphysics"},{"id":805,"name":"Ontology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ontology"},{"id":815,"name":"Epistemology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Epistemology"},{"id":8220,"name":"Causation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Causation"},{"id":12163,"name":"Augustin Cournot","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Augustin_Cournot"},{"id":15087,"name":"Explanation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Explanation"},{"id":46571,"name":"Chance","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Chance"},{"id":84607,"name":"Coincidences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Coincidences"},{"id":85813,"name":"Honor","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Honor"},{"id":501827,"name":"H.

Conversely, according to a causal view of chance, intersections between independent causal chains originate accidental events, called ''coincidences.'' The present paper takes into proper consideration this causal conception of chance and tries to shed new light on it. More precisely, starting from Hart and Honoré's view of coincidental events (Hart and Honoré in Causation in the Law. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1959), this paper furnishes a more detailed account on the nature of coincidences, according to which coincidental events are hybrids constituted by ontic (physical) components, that is the intersections between independent causal chains, plus epistemic aspects; where by ''epistemic'' we mean what is related, in some sense, to knowledge: for example, access to information, but also expectations , relevance, significance, that is psychological aspects. In particular, this paper investigates the role of the epistemic aspects in our understanding of what coincidences are. In fact, although the independence between the causal lines involved plays a crucial role in understanding coincidental events, that condition results to be insufficient to give a satisfactory definition of coincidences. The main target of the present work is to show that the epistemic aspects of coincidences are, together with the independence between the intersecting causal chains, a constitutive part of coincidental phenomena.

This coincidental notion of chance is not a new one, but—as Cournot remarks—it comes from Saint Thomas Aquinas, Boethius, and more probably from Jean de La Placette. Such a conception of chance phenomena seems to be very important, not only because it is closely related to the Principle of Causality, but also since it grounds Cournot’s theory of objective probability. Starting from Martin’s work (Probabilités et Critique Philosophique selon Cournot. Vrin, Paris, 1996), the main attempt of this survey is to endorse the idea that Cournot’s coincidental notion of hasard is objective, that is it is ontic (i.e. it comes from some real feature of the world) and it does not depend—in some sense—on our degree of knowledge. In order to do that, a central role in the discussion will be given to the meaning of the independence between the intersecting causal chains and to Cournot’s conception of causation.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="37072304"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="37072304"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 37072304; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=37072304]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=37072304]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 37072304; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='37072304']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 37072304, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=37072304]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":37072304,"title":"Cournot’s Notion of Hasard: An Objective Conception of Chance","translated_title":"","metadata":{"doi":"10.1007/s10516-017-9333-7","issue":"6","volume":"27","abstract":"According to Antoine Augustine Cournot, chance events are the result of the intersection between independent causal chains.
