Determination and Freedom in the Age of Modern Science is a book written by Sidney Hook, a philosopher and social critic. The book explores the relationship between determinism and freedom in the context of modern science. Hook argues that scientific discoveries have challenged traditional notions of free will and human agency, and that we must reconcile these developments with our understanding of personal responsibility and moral accountability. He also contends that a belief in determinism need not lead to fatalism or nihilism, but can instead serve as a foundation for a more robust sense of individual and collective purpose. Overall, Determination and Freedom in the Age of Modern Science offers a thought-provoking exploration of some of the most fundamental questions facing humanity in the 21st century.Contributing Authors Include Brand Blanshard, Max Black, William Barrett, And Many Others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
