To [[Aristotle]] on the other hand, both tyche (luck) and automaton (chance) are everyday [[phenomena]]. However, for Aristotle chance events were not uncaused, they were simply the effect of the concurrence of two causal sequences. Thus a stone falling that happens to hit a tree is a chance event, although the falling of the stone and the growing of the tree are both determined events. | To [[Aristotle]] on the other hand, both tyche (luck) and automaton (chance) are everyday [[phenomena]].
