Richard Taylor used the example of an "ingenious physiologist" who is able to induce volitions into other subjects to refute this idea's "soft" type, which is also known as compatibilism.
Xia argued that the time-inverse of an exponentially accelerating object, or "space invader," would violate this idea. Peter van Inwagen's Mind and Consequence arguments support this idea, while John Norton attempted to disprove it for Newtonian physics using an example of a ball at rest rolling off a frictionless dome. Richard Taylor used the example of an "ingenious physiologist" who is able to induce volitions into other subjects to refute this idea's "soft" type, which is also known as compatibilism. Its "scientific" type is illustrated by Laplace's demon. For 10 points, name this philosophical belief that past events and the laws of nature necessitate future events, which is opposed to the idea of free will.
