Esta argumentación ha suscitado múltiples e incompatibles interpretaciones desde la Antigüedad hasta nuestros días. En ellas se ha presentado la argumentación del Estagirita en un abanico que va desde comprenderla como una postura compatible con el más fuerte  determinismo, hasta una que requiere un muy generalizado indeterminismo. En diálogo con estas interpretaciones, se defenderá una lectura según la cual estos pasajes están diseñados para argumentar no contra el determinismo causal sino contra la predeterminación.application/pdfspaUniversidad EAFIThttps://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/co-herencia/article/view/6839https://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/co-herencia/article/view/6839Copyright © 2021 Laura Liliana Gómez EspíndolaAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Co-herencia, Vol. 18, Núm. 35 (2021)Aristotle’s necessity and coincidences: An interpretation of Metaphysics VI 3 and XI 8Necesidad y coincidencias en Aristóteles.
