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.
