RE: LaPlace's Demon, Determinism and our Free Will - a few thoughts
How does Hume’s rejection of a proposition of causation fit with your ideas of determinism?

@mandibil
With my post i was not against Hume and actually i give him right in his compatibilism. There are external influences and there is the inner urge. It is an intermezzo from the inner and outer world - if you like you can say to this a war between materialism (outer world = chains = causal conditions) and spiritualism (inner world = urge = soul = free will). The question is, what has the upper hand? do causal events of the outer world influence the inner urge or does the inner urge influence the material and thus direct the outer world with his free will?
LaPlace Demon, who influences the outer world, can be seen as the devil who directs people and the divine directs the free will.
Here we come again to the fight good against evil, free against enslavement, yingyang etc.... = yes against no
