Q&A: Free Will and Determinism
Free Will and Determinism
Question
How can one believe in free choice while also believing in the principle of causality / sufficient reason?
Doesn’t the principle of causality create a determinism of an infinite chain of causes?
Answer
Since I’ve written two books, articles, and columns about this, I’ll suffice with a referral. See, for example, this article: https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=f18e4f052adde49eb&q=https://mikyab.net/%25D7%259B%25D7%25AA%25D7%2591%25D7%2599%25D7%259D/%25D7%259E%25D7%2590%25D7%259E%25D7%25A8%25D7%2599%25D7%259D/%25D7%259E%25D7%2591%25D7%2598-%25D7%25A9%25D7%2599%25D7%2598%25D7%25AA%25D7%2599-%25D7%25A2%25D7%259C-%25D7%2597%25D7%2595%25D7%25A4%25D7%25A9-%25D7%2594%25D7%25A8%25D7%2595%25D7%259F/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiZ9Li2lruMAxWZ_7sIHfi7JawQFnoECAoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2tXxkl8I2o_rSgLTTsY0-2
