Thesis 2>71

Latin

Secundum omnes philosophos dicendum est deum necessario agere quicquid agit.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 20002

English

Every philosopher, it must be said, holds that whatever God does, he does of necessity.

Farmer's note (farmer1998:20063) reads the phrase 'according to all philosophers' as signaling an implicit double-truth, resolved elsewhere by Pico's hierarchical modes of necessity (cf. 2>14-15); pico_stance is accordingly given as unstated rather than endorses.
