Abstract

Investigation "Free will" from gateway the "law of causality", in Allameh Jafari and early Wittgenstein's view
Allameh Jafari and early Wittgenstein are two philosophers whose formulation of free will is closely linked to the law of causality. The closeness and convergence of these two philosophers' views on topics such as "the separation of will and world", "absence law of causality network between human will and action in classical physics", "the central role of the metaphysical I and the metaphysical subject in human will" and the extension of the law of causality as understanding events. Likewise, we can also talk about the differences in the attitudes of these two philosophers. In this way, Allameh Jafari believes in the duality between "metaphysical subject" and the will, In other words, the subject has a causal effect (other than classical physics) on the will and the world. But in Wittgenstein's philosophy, phenomenal will is the same metaphysical subject and since it is at the boundary of the universe, it has no connection with the world. The innovation of this paper involves a comparative analysis of the free will from gateway the "law of causality" that points to the convergence of the views of the two philosophers in the different contexts of vision.
