"God does not play dice" said Einstein, a tenacious determinist. Quantum Mechanics and its clash with General Relativity have reanimated ancient dilemmas about chance and necessity: Is Nature deterministic? Is Man free? The “free-will theorem” by Conway and Kochen, and the deterministic interpretation of quantum mechanics proposed by 't Hooft, revive such philosophical questions in modern Physics. Is Becoming real? Is the Elementary Event a product of the Case? The cyclopean clash between Heraclitus and Parmenides has entered a new episode, as evidenced by the essays in this volumeSummary: Introduction (Fabio Scardigli) -- Free Will in the Theory of Everything (Gerard 't Hooft) -- Phenomenology, Freedom, Causality, and the Origin of Western Civilization (Emanuele Severino) -- Grace, Freedom, Relation (Piero Coda)PPN: PPN: 1048371824Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-PHA | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXP
