16. Persons / F. Free Will / 6. Determinism / a. Determinism
Two versions of quantum theory say that the world is deterministic [Ladyman/Ross]
     Full Idea: In the Bohm version of quantum theory, and the Everett approach, the world comes out deterministic after all.
     From: J Ladyman / D Ross (Every Thing Must Go [2007], 3.7.2)
     A reaction: This is just in case anyone wants to trumpet the idea that quantum theory has established indeterminism. It is particularly daft to think that quantum indeterminacy makes free will possible (or even actual).
