   Laplace's demon. In the history of science, Laplace's demon was a notable published articulation of causal determinism on a scientific basis by Pierre-Simon Laplace in 1814. [1] According to determinism, if someone (the demon) knows the precise location and momentum of every atom in the universe, their past and future values for any given time ...

   May 20, 2016 · In an often-quoted passage, Laplace derives determinism—the ability of a superhuman intelligence to predict future events—from the axiom of a universal causal chain of all events. This axiom, which Laplace adopts from Leibniz, is the Principle of Sufficient Reason .

   Is Laplace a 'dream' for human deterministic predictability?

   • Similarly in James Gleick's book, Chaos, the author appears to conflate Laplace's demon with a "dream" for human deterministic predictability, and even states that "Laplace seems almost buffoon-like in his optimism, but much of modern science has pursued his dream" (pg.14).

   What is Laplace determinism?

   • Laplace stipulates a Leibnizian chain of events between cause and effect. It is the association of determinism with a unique cause, preceding each subsequent event, which gives birth to Laplace’s vision of a Demon. It is a causal, dynamic form of determinism. The Demon, in order to function, must know the present state of the universe and its laws.

   Does Laplace's demon vacillate between scientific and metaphysical determinism?

   • But Laplace’s Demon vacillates between scientific and metaphysical determinism, between predictive and ontological determinism. His causal determinism seems to lead to the static Block Universe view, in which past, present and future are equally real. The t -invariance of fundamental laws seems to confirm this interpretation.

   Is Laplace's demon a determinist or a fatalist?

   • Laplace’s Demon is a denizen of a deterministic world, of a clockwork universe. He is a determinist not a fatalist. But Laplace’s Demon vacillates between scientific and metaphysical determinism, between predictive and ontological determinism.

   DETERMINISM AND PREDICTABILITY ABSTRACT. Theoretical determinism, as it is usually ascribed to Laplace, is neither verifiable nor falsifiable and has therefore no real content. It is not the same as pre dictability of actually observable phenomena. On the other hand, predictability is not an
