Determinism.
Is a philosophical view according to which evrything has a reason. More precisely, Determinism is commited to two propositions, as phrased by Peter Van Inwagen:
1. For any moment in time, we can write a list of facts that describe precisely that moment and only it.
2. If A is a proposition that describes one moment in time, and L is the propostion that describes the laws of nature, A and L together entail all other descriptions of points in time.
#1 tells us that each moment in time is different and can be described. #2 tells us that if we know everything about one point in time and all the laws of nature, we can deduce what happened before and after that point.
