À propos de l'auteur
Championing secular thought and the critique of religious dogmas, Chapman Cohen (1868-1954) was a pivotal figure in the freethought movement of the early 20th century. His literary corpus is a testament to his rigorous intellect and unwavering commitment to rationalism and humanism. Among his numerous works, 'Determinism or Free-Will?' encapsulates his philosophical cogitations, examining the contentious debate on the extent to which human actions are governed by causes beyond personal control, juxtaposed with the concept of free-will. In it, Cohen argued for determinism, positing that human behavior is bound by causality, a proposition that reflects his broader rationalist perspective, which he eloquently defended throughout his career.

He also served as President of the National Secular Society, advocating for a public life free from religious influence.
