Determinism and Free Will Imaginative penetration into a personal intellectual universe is, in essence, the same operation with which one apprehends the inner conflict of a fictional character, only much more complicated, because in it the imagination is not free to create the analogies that it understands but has to satisfy the
multiplicity of data and the sense of reality.
We have partial free will. It is not total because we live under social rules and ethics. We participated in a theater. The family, the country we were born in, were determined, and although a lot seems to be determined, in this
density we have free will, that is, we are responsible and authors of our actions. That is why you see the attitude of repentance so prevalent in the Christian religion, for example.
What I am dealing with here is
reality, not deconstructionist nonsense. If you took a minute to seriously meditate on yourself by Socrates' method of confession, you would see that there is neither one thing nor the other absolutely, but a mixture of the two, that is the third thing. If you are unable to realize this, do not waste my time as I will not draw the explanation for you.
