论意志自由的绝对性

On the Absoluteness of the Freedom of Will

意志是人的实践本质的内在要素 ,它作为人的生命活动自主性的体现 ,就是能动地不受阻碍地认识和利用事物规律 ,促进于人有益的目的实现。因而意志是自由的 ,这种自由是绝对的。意志自由相对性的观点源自对意志自由和行动自由的区分 ,将自由看作是完全非理性的 ,将意志自由与外部条件混为一体 ,将意志的行动和结果混为一体 ,以及将人的实践本质的意志自由和人在认识活动中的意志自由混为一体的不妥作法。

Will is the internal element of the essenc e of human practice. As the embodiment of the initiative of human life activities, it understands and uses the law of things w ithout any hindrance and thus promotes the realization of purposes beneficial to humans. Therefore, W ill is free and this freedom is absolute. The idea of the relativity of the freedom of Will comes fro m the distinction between the freedom of Will and the freedom of action, the consideration of free dom as irrational, and the confusion of the freedom of Will with external conditions, the confusion of the action of Will with its result, and the confusion of the freedom of Will as the essence of human practice with the freedom of Will in human cognitive activities.
