Talk:Predeterminism

I think WP Pedeterminism subject page should include references to psychological nativism. It more widely believable that In the field of psychology, nativism is the view that certain skills or abilities are "innate" and others hard-wired into the brain with life experiences and everyday challenges. This is in contrast to empiricism, the "blank slate" or tabula rasa view, which states that the brain has inborn capabilities for learning from birth. (Like the baby Immanuel) his environment wasn't as protected and didn't contain experiences such as native beliefs. This factor contributes to the coping nature versus environmental nurturing and talented disputes. --Joseph L. Russell, Jr. 18:27, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Predeterminism can be examined by itself in a uniquely religious scope. I am surprised this sense of it hasn't made it into the main page. I will take a stab at it if no one else beats me to it sometime in the future. [User:Cruisefx|Cruisefx]] 19:03, 31 May 2012 (EST-5) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cruisefx (talk • contribs)

The introductory sentence is a nonsense, since there is no "before the advent of temporal existence". This needs re-wording. Banno 02:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

The page is rubbish generally. It shoud be turned into a redirect to predestination 1Z 19:44, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Predeterminism definition
Since predeterminism is not identical to predestination, I created a page explaining the difference and giving philosophical sources for the difference between determinism and predeterminism. Cmsreview (talk) 23:05, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you have a source for "Predeterminism is the idea that every event is caused, not simply by the immediately prior events, but by a causal chain of events that goes back well before recent events"? This appears to imply causal determinism, but not all references make this claim. I can find and  in support of this definition,  but others do not make this claim  . Before your edit, the text implied that causal determinism was used as an argument for the existence of predeterminism, but made no specific claim of causal determinism. The original definition provided was "Predeterminism is generally the philosophy that all of the events of history, past, present and future, have been decided before the advent of temporal existence."  Can I verify that this modification was intentional? Thanks. Richardbrucebaxter (talk) 18:56, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
