Hi,
> consciousness, bearing burdensome memories of repugnant actions,
What about consciousness only bearing memories of wonderful actions?
Mine dwells on bad actions. (Jewish guilt perhaps.)
> either surrender the possibility of free will (fatalism)
Denying free will does not imply fatalism!
But determinism does, no?
The whole of Nietzsche's
philosophy is a monument dedicated to gainsay that error.
Yet most of his personal life seems to affirm it.
I agree with Bruno that "the will" is real, but speaking of "free"
should be avoided, it is incoherent. It suggest a separateness, an
ontological doubling, which does not make sense. Ask yourself: free of
what? You will not find a good answer...
I stand corrected. Thanks for the hint. M.A.
Cheers,
Günther
