What is the theory of determinism?
Determinism, in philosophy, theory that all events, including moral choices, are completely determined by previously existing causes. Determinism is usually understood to preclude free will because it entails that humans cannot act otherwise than they do.
When did hard determinism start?
The terms “hard” and “soft” determinism were coined by William James in his essay “The Dilemma of Determinism” (1884). His terminology has persisted to this day although both libertarians and determinists largely discount the line of argument he put forward in favour of free will.
