Placing the conflict between chance and order at the center of early modern French culture, these essays cluster around four problems: Providence in Question, Aesthetics and Poetics of Chance, Law and Ethics of Chance, and Chance and its Remedies. By demonstrating the breadth and intensity of the early modern questioning of chance, they offer an illuminating new perspective on French culture in the period.
