[QUOTE="Speedwell, post: 74819689, member: 387171"] Causal determinism. [I]"Causal determinism is, roughly speaking, the idea that every event is necessitated by antecedent events and conditions together with the laws of nature. The idea is ancient, but first became subject to clarification and mathematical analysis in the eighteenth century. Determinism is deeply connected with our understanding of the physical sciences and their explanatory ambitions, on the one hand, and with our views about human free action on the other. In both of these general areas there is no agreement over whether determinism is true (or even whether it can be known true or false), and what the import for human agency would be in either case."[/I] [RIGHT]--Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy[/RIGHT] [/QUOTE]
