Part 1/10:
The Illusion of Free Will and the Impact of Determinism
In a world where science and philosophy intersect, the age-old debate about free will and determinism takes center stage. At the heart of this discussion lies the profound assertion by the mathematician Pierre Simon Laplace in the 19th century, which claims that every event is a consequence of preceding occurrences. This deterministic view positions free will as an illusion, provoking questions about human agency and responsibility in a universe governed by the immutable laws of physics.
