所谓的自然决定论不过是一种修正主义的偶然论思想,这种理论通往的方向是宿命论,即人没有自由意志,而且无法左右自己的行为。人的所有行为都是随机的、没有秩序的,只能听从机会或者命运的安排。维基百科的解释如下:
An argument can be made which claims that the aspects of reality that are important to hope are unaffected by determinism. Whether or not the universe is determined does not change the fact that the future is unknown, and that a person's actions help determine that future. In fact, it is even conceivable that a lack of belief in determinism could lead to 'bleak pessimism', or fatalism, since one could potentially believe that their actions did nothing to determine future events.
很难想象为什么有人宁可相信这种悲观消极的世界观也不愿意接受积极的、相信确定性的严格决定论。如果人类果真像自然决定论所说的那样,还真的该自杀了-而且自杀与否不是自身可以控制的。因为人的每一个思维和行为都建立在量子论的随机运动上,也许你这一秒钟安然无恙,下一秒就会决定自杀,而且没有任何原因导致了这一行为的发生,人的命运完全不为自己所左右。
难道这种理论也会有人相信?
