| Opplysninger | First published in 1936 by Geroge Allen & Unwin Ltd.. - chapter I Preliminary Definitions -- chapter II The Arguments For Determinism In Seventeenth-Century Philosophy -- chapter III Science And Determinism -- chapter IV Hume's Scepticism In Its Relation To Cadsation -- chapter V The Perception Of Causal Efficacy -- chapter VI Matter, Causation, And Determinism -- chapter VII Freedom And Uniformity.. - "This book, first published in 1936, divides into roughly two parts: a re-examination of historical material; and a positive theory of causation suggested by the results of this re-examination. The historical study discloses an ambiguity in the meanings of causation and determinism; it discloses also that this ambiguity is transferred to the meaning of freedom."--Provided by publisher.
