DETERMINISM AND FREE WILL - FABIO SCARDIGLI EMA...

In this small book  theoretical physicist Gerard 't Hooft (Nobel prize 1999)  philosopher
Emanuele Severino (Lincei Academician)  and theologian Piero Coda (Pontifical Lateran
University) confront one another on a topic that lies at the roots of quantum mechanics and at
the origin of Western thought: Determinism and Free Will. 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 volume.
