Text Quotes
The amount you give will determine the amount you get back  (Determinism Quotes) Life calls the tune, we dance  (Determinism Quotes) Ontingency is a thing unto itself, not the titration of determinism by randomness  (Determinism Quotes) Perhaps to restore human freedom we should deny determinism?  (Determinism Quotes) The assumption of an absolute determinism is the essential foundation of every scientific enquiry  (Determinism Quotes) History abhors determinism but cannot tolerate chance  (Determinism Quotes) Old-fashioned determinism was what we may call hard determinism. It did not shrink from such words as fatality, bondage of the will, necessitation, and the like. Nowadays, we have a soft determinism which abhors harsh words, and, repudiating fatality, necessity, and even predetermination, says that its real name is freedom; for freedom is only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom  (Determinism Quotes) Biological determinism is, in its essence, a theory of limits. It takes the current status of groups as a measure of where they should and must be... We inhabit a world of human differences and predilections, but the extrapolation of these facts to theories of rigid limits is ideology  (Determinism Quotes) Abandoned by philosophy, politics, and sociology, historical determinism continues to hold out in formalist art criticism  (Determinism Quotes) Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will  (Determinism Quotes) Free will and determinism are like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism. The way you play your hand is free will  (Determinism Quotes) Man is a masterpiece of creation if for no other reason than that, all the weight of evidence for determinism notwithstanding, he believes he has free will  (Determinism Quotes) Man is a masterpiece of creation, if only because no amount of determinism can prevent him from believing that he acts as a free being  (Determinism Quotes) Obviously if any actions, even a lunatic’s, can be causeless, determinism is done for. If the chain of causation can be broken for a madman, it can be broken for a man  (Determinism Quotes) The world changed from having the determinism of a clock to having the contingency of a pinball machine  (Determinism Quotes) And now having a child has been taken out of the sphere of biological determinism and placed instead in the domain of intentional action. Another option to consider and decide upon. And... not to choose is to choose  (Determinism Quotes) Man is a masterpiece of creation, if only because no amount of determinism can prevent him from believing that he acts as a free being.  (Determinism Quotes) Many of us think in terms in parental determinism: ‘If I push all the right buttons my kids are going to turn out OK.’ I want to instill in myself and my people a wonderful dose, not of carelessness, but of God’s sovereignty. He knows the hairs on your kids’ heads.  (Determinism Quotes) Recently, results of the Human Genome Project have shattered one of Science’s fundamental core beliefs, the concept of genetic determinism. We have been led to believe that our genes determine the character of our lives, yet new research surprisingly reveals that it is the character of our lives that controls our genes. Rather than being victims of our heredity, we are actually masters of our genome.  (Determinism Quotes) Man is a masterpiece of creation if for no other reason than that, all the weight of evidence for determinism notwithstanding, he believes he has free will.  (Determinism Quotes) Free will, determinism, meaning, existence, etc. are academic problems, not problems in life.  (Determinism Quotes) The metaphysical doctrine of determinism simply asserts that all events in this world are fixed, or unalterable, or predetermined. It does not assert that they are known to anybody, or predictable by scientific means. But it asserts that the future is as little changeable as is the past. Everybody knows what we mean when we say that the past cannot be changed. It is in precisely the same sense that the future cannot be changed, according to metaphysical determinism  (Determinism Quotes) When we succumb to believing that we are victims of our circumstances and yield to the plight of determinism, we lose hope, we lose drive, and we settle into resignation and stagnation  (Determinism Quotes) The semimetaphysical problems of the individual and society, of egoism and altruism, of freedom and determinism, either disappear or remain in the form of different phases in the organization of a consciousness that is fundamentally social  (Determinism Quotes) History does not teach fatalism. There are moments when the will of a handful of free men breaks through determinism and opens up new roads. People get the history they deserve  (Determinism Quotes) Science admits no exceptions; otherwise there would be no determinism in science, or rather, there would be no science  (Determinism Quotes) The idea of determinism combined with complete human responsibility struck me as very hard to reconcile with an idea of justice, let alone mercy  (Determinism Quotes) The more we know about our universe, the more difficult it becomes to believe in determinism  (Determinism Quotes) Determinism is the thesis that is true at every moment that the way things then are determines a unique future, that only one of the alternative futures that may exist relative to a given moment is a physically possible continuation of the state of things at the moment. Or, if you like, we may say that determinism is the thesis that only one continuation of the state of things at a given moment is consistent with the laws of nature  (Determinism Quotes) ... what we should be looking for is fresh ideas of how we make moral decisions about our dealings with one another, economic, social, cultural. Economic determinism is an objectionable creed where men and women espouse it in its communist or capitalist form because it treats human beings as economic units and not as responsible persons  (Determinism Quotes)
