The Law of Cause and Effect and Freedom, Reflections on the Law of Cause and Effect

On the law of cause and effect (from time immemorial to the present).

About its discussion: theistic determinism (God, God, Heaven...)There is conceptual (idea) determinism, and disbelief in cause and effect.

In 17-18, the modern classical physics system was established, so that the heroes gathered together, and put forward the triumphant theory that the world can be mechanically determined and judged - today gives me enough information, and the determined time and space can be determined by a formula, and the operation result of the largest or smallest thing in the universe can be determined, which is undefinite and unknowable, and even the past and future. (This is based on the mechanical world and linear cause and effect, which shatters God, but only paints a picture of dreams, the development of the theory of microscopic particles, and the discovery of the law of probability distribution, which is not correct).

Materialist dialectical view of causality: affirms the introverted and prescriptive nature of the objective existence of cause and effect, and at the same time explains that causality is nonlinear and non-mechanical, (cause is also the effect of cause, and causal speculation is also the cause of effect, and causal linear mechanical ablation), and in the development of universal connection and movement in the whole world, causal existence is the unity of relative and absolute, and is the dynamic display of diversity and possibility.

Cause and effect exist objectively, but not mechanically determined, diverse and possible, dynamic and developing, predestination is not a concern, let us grasp the positive possibility of life, and at specific time and space nodes, we can be sure and calmly deal with people, so that the joint force is combined with the effect.

Of course, the rationality of the materialist dialectical view of cause and effect is definite, and it is the knowledge of the present time, but it is also developing, which is the meaning of the dynamic growth of the whole system!

Examples of common ground and usage:

Example 1 As the saying goes, when you speak, you listen to the sound of gongs and drums. It has been observed that the sound production phenomena of various objects are accompanied by the vibration of the air on the object. Thus, it can be concluded that the vibration of the air on the object is responsible for the sound.

Example 2 The following situation will occur when a poisoning case is detected: Ato reported that people in his family vomited and fell into a coma; Ototo reported that people in his family vomited and fell into a coma; Households C and D also made the same report. Now Huai Zikai is looking for the cause of vomiting and coma in the book. We found that the living conditions of these households were different, their diets were different, their age and health were different, but there was one thing that was common, they drank water from the same well.

Then it can be judged that the cause of the well caused by the lead vomiting and coma. This way of finding causal connections is the method of seeking similarity.

What exactly is the law of cause and effect? We usually say that event A is the cause of event B, and in reality, such a causal relationship can be as follows: C's shot in a ball game is the cause, the goal is the result, and the law of cause and effect is satisfied between them.

Such a statement can lead to some misunderstandings, as if A and B are independent of the whole world, and only the two of them are related. In fact, the impact of events in any one place on the surroundings travels in a cone of light along the timeline, affecting the surroundings at the speed of light.

In everyday life, the law of cause and effect seems so taken for granted that almost no one will question it. It seems that every event has a cause, and any cause will produce some kind of effect.

This understanding of the law of cause and effect has historically led to the flourishing of science, and once upon a time it even developed to the level of mechanical determinism. Mechanistic determinism holds that the future of the world can be completely determined by the past and the present, and that all events follow a completely deterministic law of cause and effect.

The task of philosophy, however, is to question what seems to be taken for granted. This is how empiricist philosophy is incompatible with the law of cause and effect, which in their view is nothing more than the result of our inner induction of experience.

I think there is some truth to the law of cause and effect.

Because it refers to the most important and direct (and can be indirect) relationship between all things, it means that any phenomenon or thing must have a cause.

That is, "things have a beginning and an end", "plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans".

The development of life in this life can be achieved by different efforts (i.e., different causes) and different developments (different results).

It's not unreported, it's not time. There are still more good people than bad people in this world, and good people get far more than others.

But there is a cause and effect.

I don't believe in fate, I only believe in cause and effect.

What you plant is what you get, the way of heaven is reincarnated. It's good to be upright and have a clear conscience.

Karma is a kind of self-consolation for good human beings.
