Determinism
Sorry if I’m bothering you with another question about choice and determinism. But I saw that you write that God does not know what we will choose, (I think I saw that in the Rabbinic view). My question is why not say like the deterministic view? It is always possible to say that the Torah was intended as a reason for us to be good and not that we would be chosen. And why God created us is not understood anyway, but if it was to be good, why didn’t he put us straight in the Garden of Eden and why did he create the Nehma Dechisopa. Especially since for the sake of choice you are willing to sacrifice knowledge, so that probability is not preferable? (By the way, this is what Rabbi Karshakash writes in his book Or Ha-Ha).
If you have dedicated a column to this topic, I would be happy if you could contact me.
I have a series of columns on knowledge and choice. My belief in free will is fueled by my immediate perception of myself and other people that we have a choice, that’s all. Anyone who wants to claim that I am mistaken must bring very good evidence for it. As far as I know, there is none. The religious perception is the result of this consideration, not its cause.
