Choice And Chance (1870)

By William Allen Whitworth

Book Overview

""Choice and Chance"" is a philosophical treatise written by William Allen Whitworth and published in 1870. The book explores the relationship between free will and determinism, arguing that while human beings have the ability to make choices, those choices are ultimately constrained by external factors such as genetics, environment, and social conditioning. Whitworth also examines the role of chance and probability in human affairs, arguing that while chance events may appear random and unpredictable, they are ultimately subject to mathematical laws and can be studied and understood through statistical analysis. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, and is considered a classic work of 19th century philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
