Cause?
Question
Hello Rabbi, have a good week.
I started the Rabbi’s lecture series on free will and choice, and I just wanted to check whether I’m understanding the concept correctly — does “cause” mean a necessary and sufficient condition?
Thank you!
Answer
Keep listening; it will come up later. This is a dispute among philosophers (whether it is a sufficient condition or a necessary and sufficient condition).
Okay, thank you very much. Have a good week.
