Zamagni, Per scalam sapientiae: l’ermeneutica metafisica di John Wyclif,“Dianoia” 9 (2004), pp. 43‐57.137 Si veda in merito A. D. Conti, Wyclif’s Logic and Metaphysics, in I. C. Levy (acura di), A Companion to Wyclif ..., pp. 67‐125: p. 89: Given that God isimmutable, and hence that the divine power is not affected by the passage oftime, and divine ideas, within Wyclif’s system, are as necessary as thedivine essence itself, the logical consequence is that, despite Wyclif’s claim tothe contrary, the whole history of the world is determined from eternity. As amatter of fact, Wyclif’s conditional (or relative) necessity is as necessary ashis absolute necessity: given God, the world’s entire history follows. Si trattadi una tesi assai interessante, che va presa in attenta considerazione, allacui luce si dovrebbe attribuire un’ulteriore debolezza al penserio giovaniledi Wyclif, i cui argomenti teologici risulterebbero così sprovvisti deipresupposti garantiti dal ricorso alla necessità ipotetica.
