In the middle 1500, some scholar published papers that antagonized old way of thinking and making assumptions. The scientific revolution established a pattern of thinking about the natural world through observations. It also encouraged people to examine and challenge accepted beliefs.
Determinism is the idea that free will is an illusion and that our behavior is governed by internaland external forces over which we have no control; consequently, our behavior is viewed as predictable. Hard determinism is the view that forces outside of our control have complete authority over behavior, however soft determinism opposes this view and suggests that we are constrained by these forces, but only to an extent as there is an element of free will in behavior.
