Abstract Determinism is generally regarded as one of the main characteristics classical physics, that is, physics eighteenth and nineteenth century. However, an inquiry into century shows aim accounting for all phenomena on basis deterministic equations motion remained far out reach. Famous statements universal determinism, such those Laplace Du Bois-Reymond, were made within a specific context...

Evolutionary economics devotes special emphasis on the heterogeneity of actors with respect to their technological performance as well as to their inventive and innovative success. This causes major methodological problems which require appropriate measures and methods for their solution. This article ...

The aims of this chapter are to review some aspects of determinism that are familiar to physicists but are little discussed in the philosophical literature and to show how these aspects connect determinism to issues about symmetries in physics, the structure and ontological status of spacetime, predictability, and computability. It will emerge that in some respects determinism is a robust doctr...

Economists included knowledge their models to improve their explanatory accuracy. A major step was to describe the production of knowledge as well as its exploitation as an internal part of economic models. Politicians prefer to talk about a new kind of economy so they can sustain the myth of progress. Rather than explain economies using a new model they try to leave economic history intact whi...
