Abstract
In the philosophical tradition, the notions of determinism and are strongly linked: it is assumed that in a world of deterministic laws, may be said to reign supreme; and in any world where the is strong enough, determinism must hold. I will show that these alleged linkages are based on mistakes, and in fact get things almost completely wrong. In a deterministic world that is anything like ours, there is no room for genuine causation. Though there may be stable enough macro-level regularities to serve the purposes of human agents, the sense of causality that can be maintained is one that will at best satisfy Humeans and pragmatists, not causal fundamentalists.
