 Some issues dealt with in logic are also relevant to ethics and metaphysics. Al-Farabi sees logic as the path to happiness (Germann, 2015). He also discusses the issue of future contingents. If the truth value of statements on future contingents is immediately determined, i.e., before the event happens, then everything is predetermined and freewill is an illusion. Aristotle treats of this issue in On Interpretation, 9. Al-Fârâbî discusses more complex aspects of this issue as he adds a consideration of God’s foreknowledge and defends human freewill against some theologians (see Peter Adamson (2006), “The Arabic Sea Battle: al-Fârâbî on the Problem of future Contingents”).
