Why would a fortuitous event belong to the order of ends? What does it mean to say that fortuitous events are "for something" (Greek passage)? The main responses to specialists are reviewed, some deficiencies are noted, and a non-causal-explicative reading is proposed for the expression e t. This reading differs from the "as-if teleology" as an explanation of the finality of the fortuitous event.enAristotleDe AnimaMetaphysicsArtículoAtribución 4.0 Internacional (CC BY 4.0)10.15446/ideasyvalores.v64n158.41787
