Determinism is the philosophical view that every event is caused by a prior event or set of events, and that the state of the universe at any given time is completely determined by its state at the previous time. In other words, determinism holds that the universe is a closed system, and that everything that happens is the inevitable result of what has happened before.
Origins and History of Determinism

This view was later adopted by the Roman philosopher Cicero, who coined the term "determinism."
