Beyond Causa Sui


Listen Later

This excerpt from "Beyond Causa Sui – Philosophics" presents a critical philosophical perspective, primarily challenging the notion of free will as an extravagant and illogical human construct. It argues against the idea of being solely responsible for one's actions, viewing it as a desire to be "Causa Sui," or self-caused. The text also contends that the concepts of cause and effect are merely conventional fictions for communication rather than fundamental truths about "being-in-itself." Ultimately, it posits that the perceived "non-freedom of the will" is a personal interpretation, often stemming from underlying insecurities or desires to avoid responsibility.https://philosophics.blog/2022/06/09/beyond-causa-sui/
