Torgashin, A. Yu. About Impossible Ontological Non-Freedom

Abstract: The article proves the thesis about structural impossibility of ontological non-freedom and unconditional compatibility of freedom and determinism. Moreover, it is the mechanistic determinism and non-illusion freedom that are compatible as the author says. It is concluded that compatibilism and incompatiblism are old-fashioned methods of the problem solution unlike the hypothesis about calorie as the explanation of the warmth phenomenon.


Keywords:

philosophy, freedom, free will, freedom of choice, determinism, agnosticism, compatibilism, casuality, Dennet.
