💡专业提示

区分决定论与宿命论

因果决定论强调事件由先前原因决定,而宿命论(fatalism)则认为事件由命运或超自然力量预先安排,两者虽相关但不等同。

⚡黄金法则

因果决定论的核心假设

1. 自然法则具有普遍性;2. 每个事件都有充分的先前原因;3. 人类行为同样遵循因果规律。

📖词源

源自拉丁语'causa'(原因)与英语'determinism'(决定论)的组合。'determinism'一词由拉丁语'determinare'(限定、决定)演变而来,最早由德国哲学家克里斯蒂安·沃尔夫(Christian Wolff)在18世纪提出。

📝用法说明

该术语多用于哲学、科学哲学和心理学讨论中,强调事件的因果链条。在中文语境下,常与'决定论'一词并用,但需注意其强调'因果'关系的特定含义。
