Resumo: In this article, we present and explain ten different possible meanings of a chance event – some ontological, some epistemic – and provide examples whenever possible. We describe and illustrate more carefully the view of chance (tyche) expressed by Aristotle in his Physics, a demanding and complex notion, and critically contrast it with the other senses examined, attempting to determine any(in)compatibilism.
