The Universal and the Particular

Veraue: I'm wondering whether the final causation that's exercised by God on a Veraue's view would extend to things like ensuring that we're having this conversation right now. Or does it only ensure that, for example, there are humans, there are sunny days, maybe even that there are podcasts? So your question boils down to whether there is philosophy, then whether there is particular providence. And he follows Alexander Ephridesus quite precisely on this.
