Indeterminism is a philosophical concept asserting that not all events in the universe are determined by prior causes or conditions. In other words, it is the idea that some events can occur without being predetermined by preceding factors, allowing for randomness or chance to play a role in the unfolding of events. In the context of philosophy and metaphysics, indeterminism challenges determinism, which holds that every event or state of affairs is the result of preceding events in accordance with the laws of nature.
