Description

This paper's aim sets out to provide an account of how the mechanics and fixed operations of the human experience are occurring in a causally determined universe, where all outcomes of the universe are necessarily fixed and offer no alternative possible outcomes other than what has and will happen. Furthermore, there will be an examination of the universe and the human experience under the lens of dynamic systems theory acting in accordance with the laws of motion as laid out by Sir Isaac Newton. Therefore, a workable definition of free will is required so free will throughout this paper should be established. A good starting place would be from a position that understands free will as an assumption that human agents ultimately have the power to freely think and act according to their own personal discretion; that's is to say, "... a philosophical term of art for a particular sort of capacity of rational agents to choose a course of action from among various alternatives." 1 Although there is a plethora of arguments put forward both for and against human agent's ability to possess free will, this paper will work under the guides that life is occurring in a fixed universe governed by cause and effect relationships without any alternative outcomes, making free will an impossibility for human agents.
