Overview

Is everything that happens in the universe purely random? Or is it the necessary expression of a deeper causal structure? Is the human being the true author of his decisions, or merely a structural process emerging from the complex interaction of biological organization, neural activity, social conditions, and the laws of nature? Determinism and Reality: The Philosophical Foundations of Physics explores these enduring questions that have occupied human thought for centuries, through a deep dialogue between science and philosophy. Revisiting the philosophical tradition of determinism from Leucippus to Spinoza, and from Laplace to modern quantum physics, the book presents a comprehensive perspective. Within this framework, consciousness, human decision-making, morality, and social responsibility are understood as different levels of the same underlying causal structure. The work reexamines debates surrounding quantum uncertainty, free will, responsibility, and ethics, offering a new philosophical foundation for understanding them. By bringing together physics, philosophy, the study of consciousness, and ethical thought, this book undertakes an intellectual journey that seeks to place the human being back within the causal structure of the universe.
