Topic > Analysis of Determinism - 870

Determinism is the belief that everything that happens in our lives is predetermined and we have no control over it. Baron Holbach discusses how our life is determined and what all things influence it. Baron Holbach argues that human beings are not free regarding their actions, they have no control over their actions because they are determined by the universal law of nature. A man is just another physical object that is part of nature. The laws of nature command man and determine his behavior, he is born without any permission to do anything of his own. Man is described as a physical object that has no control over natural laws; controls internal and external emotions and actions. A man cannot free himself from these laws. He says that a man's supposed ability to make choices freely is just an illusion. He believes that all our will and decision are the result of our brain activity and its interaction with the environment. He states that a man's desires are also determined. He explains this by giving an example: if a man suffers from thirst and wishes to satisfy his thirst by drinking water, but if he is told that the water is intoxicating, then he may refrain from drinking the water because he wishes not to harm his body. drinking the poisoned water but again if his thirst is drying then he might choose to drink the poisoned water because he would be perceived as drinking the water, either way both actions are necessary to the condition. Explain that a man's behavior and actions are modified by the organization around him, which consists of laws, culture, beliefs, society, peers, environment, physiology, psychology, genes, geography, past history, occasions, climate, economy .. .... half of the paper...... if we go with Holbach's theory then we will not be able to explain human existence because if we removed the organization there would be nothing left to define human because every aspect of life human is included in the organization including physiology and psychology. If we remove those things there will be nothing left. When we look from the perspective of Islam, then we can see many hadiths that say that we are determined but we are still free, this means that the final decisions are still up to us. Allah says in the Koran addressing believers: "This is Paradise; you have inherited it by virtue of your past deeds" (Surah Az-Zukhruf 72). And We did not create for him a pair of eyes and did not show him the two ways, good and evil, (Sura Al-Balad 8,10). We can come to the conclusion from the above lines that God has given us free will to make choices on our own.
