The Dilemma Of Determinism

By William James

Book Overview

The Dilemma of Determinism is a philosophical book written by William James. The book explores the debate between free will and determinism, which has been a topic of discussion amongst philosophers for centuries. James examines the arguments for both sides and provides his own insights into the dilemma. He discusses the implications of determinism on morality, responsibility, and personal agency. James argues that while determinism may seem to undermine free will, it is still possible for individuals to make choices and act freely. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the topic of free will and determinism. The Dilemma of Determinism is a seminal work in the field of philosophy and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.THIS 46 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Will to Believe and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy, by William James.
