The Consequences of Determinism

by Ted Honderich

In The Consequences of Determinism , originally Part Three of the single-volume hardback edition, Honderich poses the following if determinism is true, and free will an illusion, what are the consequences? Honderich maintains that both of the entrenched and traditional doctrines about the consequences of determinism, Compatibilism and Incompatibilism, are provably false, and formulates a new answer to the question.

We live in a deterministic world. Understanding what that means gives us the only freedom we can ever hope to attain.
