Free Will and Determinism as a False Dichotomy

Post by Eodnhoj7 »

1. If everything is determined then the observation of free will is determined thus free will exists by being observed in conversation as we are pointing to something when stating "free will". This act of point necessitates free will exists.


2. If determinism is freely created then by default determinism was not determined and a contradiction ensues.



3. All forms, which exist, are free in their action when contrasted to void as the absence of forms; that which exists is free to act and the degree of said freedom does not negate the fact that it is still free. Degrees of freedom necessitates freedom existing. Dually degrees of freedom necessitate freedom as relative; this relativity necessitates freedom of some phenomena contingent upon other phenomena. However this relative freedom does not negate the totality of being as being free to exist considering the totality is not relative as there is no contrast.



4. The totality of being is free as it has no impingements on its will as there is no other being to which it reacts; absolute free will is the totality of being.

5. All free actions require a deterministic chain considering the action of free will must have a resulting order which occurs through it if the act is to take form. A free act must have a resulting chain of actions. This leads to the question if determinism is universal and the answer is yes and no. It results from all prior actions, free or not free, and from the former actions, that of the free, the deterministic chain is spontaneous thus leading to a paradox.

6. Determinism and free will are opposites which define each other thus both must occur simultaneously.
