In literary discourse the term “determinant” is deployed to signify that decisive factor or criterion which ultimately shapes outcomes and confers meaning. It is used in contexts ranging from the concrete—such as in economic analyses where tourism steers economic performance [1] or botanical studies where the size of a leaf distinguishes varieties [2]—to the abstract, as when a primary cause or principle underlies transformative change [3] or serves as a cornerstone in metaphysical inquiry [4]. Philosophical writings often nuance the term to differentiate between forms of judgment, as seen in Kant’s critique where “determinant” judgments are contrasted with more reflective evaluations [5][6]. Historical and academic texts, meanwhile, employ “determinant” to denote a position of essential influence or a necessary qualification in scholarly contexts [7][8], demonstrating the word’s versatility in highlighting the influential role of various factors across diverse fields.
