Abstract:

Discussions of free will and reasoning can be brought to the early stages of the history of thought. These discussions continued until the birth of modern science, but there was no convincing evidence for both opinions. The reasoning thought that found a solid foundation on Newton's physics has become questioned so seriously for the first time with the development of quantum physics. In this context, the standard interpretation of quantum physics is perceived as a major challenge to causality. Albert Einstein and a few of his friends’ opinions against this challenge were not taken into account by the majority of scientists, and the standard commentary was considered a general acceptance. Until now, only a few physicists have continued to persist on this path. One of them is Gerard't Hooft. In this study, we aim to evaluate Hooft’s perspective on quantum theory, along with the philosophical views that design the deterministic model. In this sense, we will try to show the rationalist philosophy which he has revealed in his article “Free Will in the Theory of Everything”.
