Free will

[Reclusemaxxer]

A right to freewill.

Hello everyone!

I was thinking about fundamental virtue, and basically I am starting to think all virtue is conducive with a universal right to freewill.

If we all had a right to freewill, would that not be an ideal?

Let's say someone is sadistically torturing me, if that happens, he is willing against my will.

If I have a word to make him stop, and I use that word, obviously I indicate aversion to his will in the situation, if he continues to torture me, then he wills against my will.

Obviously we are willing against each other's will, and I believe at this point, a virtuous society should step in and find a situation where all members of society are not violating any freewill.

So I feel that the right to freewill is possibly a human right that all societies should codify.

What do you think?

Let me know, thank you!

Your own example indicates why your solution is impossible. The torturer wants to torture you. His free will can’t be respected, because he’s using it to cause you direct bodily harm.

In general, the laws of any nation have to balance competing rights and demands. Some err on the side of greater personal freedom, others on the side of greater social safety, but every free country tries to find the balance between letting us do what we want and keeping other people safe from our worst desires.

Stoic Virtue holds that no matter how you are constrained, you can always control the only thing which is really in your control. That is the power to make the right use of impressions and use your reasoning faculty.
