[MD] Indeterminism

Steve says that James's indeterminism is a kind of determinism but the evidence shows that James's indeterminism is meant to oppose determinism. The quotes provide evidence that Steve is misusing these terms and that he has misunderstood the meaning of James's essay. He brought it up, by the way, not realizing that this essay does not support his position at all. Quite the opposite.

Steve:
You are misreading Steve in your claim that Steve is misreading James.
All Steve was saying was what Ian just said--that in light of quantum
mechanics... "Most people these days would surely include the freedoms
of statistical chance events as part of the "determinism" half of this
debate ? (determinism with probabilities)"

"Chance" isn't the sort of freedom that anyone wants as "free will."
Would you agree?
