These are views on my topic which I have received from others (who are educated on the topic!). I will be gathering a large collection of views from those who study Determinism in Philosophy and those who don't in order to gain insight into how it is perceived. I will then be able to use these as background research.
'Determinism of some form necessarily underpins the function of the legal system because of responsibility and rationality. Determinism necessarily underpins the existence of the legal system because of the basic principles of causality. If it negates freedom, as it appears to, it undermines it, thus creating a logical paradox, since determinism underpins and undermines it. It seems that this forces the philosopher into Hume's position of consequent mitigated scepticism, and we should just carry on as normal.'
