Laplace's demon tries on Aristotle's cloak: on two approaches to determinism.
The paper describes two approaches to determinism: one focuses on the features of global objects, such as possible worlds or models of a theory, whereas the other's concern is the possible behaviour of individual objects. It then gives an outline of an individuals-based analysis of the determinism o...

Laplace, Pierre Simon, marquis de, 1749-1827 keyword: Determinism and indeterminism General relativity Initial value problem ab: The paper describes two approaches to determinism: one focuses on the features of global objects, such as possible worlds or models of a theory, whereas the other's concern is the possible behaviour of individual objects. It then gives an outline of an individuals-based analysis of the determinism of theories. Finally, a general relativistic spacetime with non-isometric extensions is described and used to illustrate a conflict between the two approaches: this spacetime is indeterministic by the first approach but deterministic by the second approach. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Synthese is a copyright of Springer, 2019.
