Determinism vs freedom: some ethics-social implications

Abstract

ResumenEl artículo es un intento de considerar brevemente el modo de comprender el propósito de la libertad en términos de desarrollo del status en la física de los objetos observados. En primer lugar, trata de definir conceptos tales como "determinismo", "indeterminismo", "casualidad" y "predictibilidad". Luego trata de caracterizar el tema de la predictibilidad al nivel del caos determinístico. Más tarde, el mismo tema se aplica en el campo del microcosmos, esto es, en la teoría cuántica. Todo lo cual trata de responder a nuestra cuestión en conformidad con la ambivalencia de los resultados de la investigación. A su vez, se trata de dilucidar algunas consecuencias con relación a la ética, las creencias religiosas y la libertad. Finalmente, se hace una revisión crítica del problema sobre fe y razón.
