View submission: The difference between causality and determinism
Free will is a question of who or what is doing the causing when we choose to do one thing rather than another.
I think we all again on that.
Obviously this ordinary notion of free will is also concerned with causation.
And obviously this is going to be an issue if causality and determinism are fused the way you at first through out the word causal determinism.
While your intention to educate us as to this McTaggart's opinions of these matters is well meant, I'm going to assume that he is not adding anything that I've not already dealt with from others.
We've been talking enough for you possibly remember that I've asserted that cause is logical and determinism is chronological. This is just a way for a person to see the difference between causation and determinism. If you don't want to see the difference that clearly trying to understand McTaggart isn't going to help you do what you want to do. Instead it will help do what you don't want to do.
If you have already read those resources you listed, then by all means, feel free to explain what you think he means to say
In some cases, there is no point in explaining this further.

Even logic is chronological and deterministic (at least in computer code). Anyways, causation is chronological and deterministic.

I'm a big fan of the truth. So, if we've discussed this before and I disagreed, then I considered it false.
