It is this immediate consciousness of the power of choosing between alternatives which the determinist finds so difficult to explain.
It is, as it were, a schedule to be filled in, and is connected with the disjunctive judgment as a schematic setting forth of alternatives, not with the hypothetical, and ultimately the apodictic judgment with their suggestion that it is the real movement of thought that is subjected to analysis.
Unless the alternatives produced exhaust the possibilities of the case, the conclusion is invalid.
