Determinism

Weeks ago a student asked an interesting question during one of my remedial lectures.
If only more would think beyond their immediate then I would be useful.

Concept of determinism.


Determinism is the philosophical proposition that every event, including human cognition and behavior, decision and action, is causally determined by an unbroken chain of prior occurrences. Determinism may also be defined as the thesis that there is at any instant exactly one physically possible future.^[1] With numerous historical debates, many varieties and philosophical positions on the subject of determinism exist from traditions throughout the world.
