Between Chance and Choice - Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Determinism (Paperback, New edition)

Are choice and free will possible in a world governed by deterministic fundamental equations? What sense would determinism make if many events and processes in the world seem to be governed by chance? These and many other questions emphasize the fact that chance and choice are two leading actors on stage whenever issues of determinism are under discussion. This volume collects essays by accomplished scientists and philosophers on the concept of determinism. The contributions cover viewpoints from mathematics, physics, cognitive science and social science, as well as philosophy.
