The Dilemma Of Determinism (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169203129)

""The Dilemma of Determinism"" is a philosophical work by the renowned American philosopher and psychologist, William James. The book explores the concept of determinism, which is the belief that all events, including human actions, are ultimately determined by prior causes and cannot be altered. James examines the implications of determinism on free will, morality, and personal responsibility. He argues that determinism is incompatible with the idea of free will and that it undermines the basis of moral responsibility. James also explores the psychological implications of determinism and the impact it has on our sense of agency and self. Overall, ""The Dilemma of Determinism"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental philosophical concepts.THIS 46 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Will to Believe and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy, by William James.
