Abstract
As a philosophical theory, as contrasted with a theological view or an
assumption of popular science or an emotional intuition about fate, determinism
fails because it is unstateable. However far we impinge (for instance for legal or
moral purposes) upon the area of free will we cannot philosophically exhibit a
situation in which, instead of shifting, it vanishes. The phenomena of rationality
and morality are involved in the very attempt to banish them.
