How can anything at all happen in an indeterministic world? And how can that \;which happens\, be something specific? In an indeterministic world (like \;ours\, arguably)\, it is not determined what will happen - but how can that \;which happens\, become determinate then? Can we learn about this problem by \;considering agency\, or can we sharpen our understanding of agency by \;considering this problem? Is it fruitful to approach the problem from the \;point of view of things actualizing their potentialities (their dispositions \;and powers)\, or should we use some framework of indeterminstic event \;causation\, or some other framework?
Attendance is free\, but space is limited. Therefore registration is \;required. If you are interested in attending\, please send an email to \;indeterminism@phil.uu.nl.
