Publisher's Synopsis
Choice and Chance is a book written by William Allen Whitworth and first published in 1870. The book explores the concepts of free will and determinism, and how they relate to human decision-making. Whitworth argues that while individuals do have the ability to make choices, those choices are ultimately influenced by external factors such as genetics, environment, and social conditioning. He also examines the role of chance in shaping human lives, and how seemingly random events can have a profound impact on our choices and outcomes. Throughout the book, Whitworth draws on a range of philosophical and scientific sources to support his arguments, including the works of John Stuart Mill, Charles Darwin, and Herbert Spencer. Choice and Chance is a thought-provoking exploration of some of the most fundamental questions about human existence, and remains relevant to contemporary debates about free will and determinism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
