นิยัตินิยม

Determinism is the metaphysical view that all events within the universe (or multiverse) can occur only in one possible way. Deterministic theories throughout the history of philosophy have developed from diverse and sometimes overlapping motives and considerations. Like eternalism, determinism focuses on particular events rather than the future as a concept. Determinism is often contrasted with free will, although some philosophers argue that the two are compatible. The antonym of determinism is indeterminism, the view that events are not deterministically caused.

AI overview

Determinism is the philosophical idea that everything that happens in the universe can only happen in exactly one way—that events are ultimately predetermined rather than open to multiple possibilities. It matters because it raises fundamental questions about whether we have free will and genuine choice, though some philosophers argue that determinism and free will might actually be compatible with each other.
