PRESENCE OF FREE WILL IN ACTIONS

Abstract: the common opinion among philosophers is that the realizations of external actions take place through gnosis, desire and will power. Action is the effect of free will and free will is the effect of eagerness; and eagerness is the effect of gnosis. Gnosis is the effect of external reasons. These reasons ultimately end up in the “Necessary Being”. According to this theory, the three realizations of action, are not merely based on free will; God, through external causes and internal causes, is the cause of human beings action. This theory faces serious problems, such as vagueness of the meaning of free will and its incompatibility with conscience (vujdan). The present study is to introduce this theory that free will and will power, in all three realizations of actions are significantly present and among these realizations from one hand and the approach and action on the other hand, there is bilateral and multi-lateral connection.
