Casualism

Not to be confused with Causalism.

Casualism is the philosophical view that the universe, its creation and development is solely based on randomness.

The concept can be traced back to Epicurus (341 BC-270 BC). It has to be noted that most of the original sources dealing with the concept has been lost and most most material today is based on Diogenes Laërtius (c. 3. century CE) work Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers, and copies plus developments by Titus Lucretius Carus (circa 99 BC – c. 55 BC) and Marcus Tullius Cicero (3 January 106 BC – 7 December 43 BC).
