Not all of what science studies needs be deterministic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The most important thing Machan shows is that science should not prejudge how what it studies must behave. That's supposed to be a matter of discovery. So if it turns out, for example, that human beings cause some of their actions or have free will, that is what the science of human behavior, pace Skinner, must record. Otherwise science is prejudiced.
