Free Will-
Sometime back I read a few articles on Free Will from different school of thoughts. Though many people find this as boring non sensical topic but it actually opens up a realm of diverse concepts, outlooks and some way to understand life in itself.
In laymen's term Free Will is the ability of any being to respond and act as per one 's reflexes or choices without any intervention or constraint from the external environment eg: fate, god, karma etc.This in some societies can easily be related to existenialism, nihilism, atheist etc
Free Will is a part of Freedom and there is nothing like unfree will if considered in the view of Freedom. However there are many school of thoughts which propogate differently "Free Will". I have read a few times about existenialism, nihilism, theists etc. at a young age ( actually when i couldnt even comprehend half the things).
A few concepts which I understood from Rohinaa ( others may differ from these)which are applied in different circumstances by an indiviual :O)---
• Determinism -This school views that all events
are the necessary results of previous causes, that everything that
happens has a cause.Sounds More like the Philosophy of Hinduism
• Compatibilism- It views that free will still
emerges out of a deterministic universe even in the absence of
metaphysical uncertainty. Clearly stating irrespective of the previous
causes there still is internal free will emerging and which leads to
an event ( irrespective of the previous cause)
• In compatibilism-It views that there is no way to
reconcile a belief in a deterministic universe with actual free will.
Clearly stating that if we keep believing in previous events and cause
there will be no Free will
• Libertianians- It views that individuals do have
metaphysical freedom and which therefore rejects determinism. Completely
denying the previous events and cause relationship and paving way
for Voluntarism.
• Indeterminism- It views that there is no Free Will
Aristotle, Plato, Socrates etc all believed in different school of thought.
Interestingly some school of thoughts believe than in the randomness of justice and injustice inflicted on different beings and if there is a suscipion or believe of Supreme Power or God or Controller there is a balance between the Karma and Free Will.....KARMA & FREE WILL
