Explanations of human behavior have generally favored unidirectional causal models emphasizing either environmental or internal determinants of behavior. In social learning theory, causal processes are conceptualized in terms of reciprocal determinism. Viewed from this perspective, psychological functioning involves a continuous reciprocal interaction between behavioral, cognitive, and environm...

logical progress. Global development, however, raises new challenges, especially in the field of environmental protection and conservation. Technological ingenuity has enhanced the potential for improving industrial development and rapid progress is being made not only in the field of electronics but also in biological, medical and pharmaceutical applications. In recent decades, increasingly pr...

The purpose of this paper is to give a brief survey the implications of the theories of modern physics for the doctrine of determinism. The survey will reveal a curious feature of determinism: in some respects it is fragile, requiring a number of enabling assumptions to give it a fighting chance; but in other respects it is quite robust and very difficult to kill. The survey will also aim to sh...

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...
