談到自由意志，不用說，那我們先得搞清楚什么是自由意志。老規(guī)矩，去維基百科的知識(shí)寶庫里面先探個(gè)究竟。

Free will is the ability to choose between different possible courses of action. It is closely linked to the concepts of responsibility, praise, guilt, sin, and other judgments which apply only to actions that are freely chosen. It is also connected with the concepts of advice, persuasion, deliberation, and prohibition. Traditionally, only actions that are freely willed are seen as deserving credit or blame. There are numerous different concerns about threats to the possibility of free will, varying by how exactly it is conceived, which is a matter of some debate.

自由意志指的是在各種不同的方案中，進(jìn)行選擇并行動(dòng)的能力。所以自由意志，并不是字面上中文的自由意志，更像是選擇和決策問題，所以還是要看第一手資料才行。

Some conceive free will to be the capacity to make choices in which the outcome has not been determined by past events. Determinism suggests that only one course of events is possible, which is inconsistent with the existence of such free will. This problem has been identified in ancient Greek philosophy,[1] and remains a major focus of philosophical debate. This view that conceives free will to be incompatible with determinism is called incompatibilismD, and encompasses both metaphysical libertarianism, the claim that determinism is false and thus free will is at least possible, and hard determinism, the claim that determinism is true and thus free will is not possible. It also encompasses hard incompatibilism, which holds not only determinism but also its negation to be incompatible with free will, and thus free will to be impossible whatever the case may be regarding determinism.

有些人認(rèn)為自由意志是做出選擇的能力，并且最終的結(jié)果和過去是無關(guān)的。決定論是說只有一個(gè)事件是可行的，這與自由意志的存在是不一致的。

無論是意志也好還是選擇也好，無非是對(duì)于已有的認(rèn)識(shí)（無論是別人的還是自己的），進(jìn)行肯定或者否定。所以很難想出非自己思維境界的觀點(diǎn)。所以如何提高自己的思維才是重中之重。

每天來讀一段莊子的典籍吧，這才是真正和莊子進(jìn)行對(duì)話吧。

北冥有魚，其名為鯤。鯤之大，不知其幾千里也；化而為鳥，其名為鵬。鵬之背，不知其幾千里也；怒而飛，其翼若垂天之云。是鳥也，海運(yùn)則將徙于南冥。南冥者，天池也。

南方和北方并不是地理位置的南和北，而指的是舊有環(huán)境和新的環(huán)境（如果是南北，那應(yīng)該季節(jié)性的回到北方，畢竟北方才是家吧）。當(dāng)海運(yùn)之時(shí)，也就是舊環(huán)境不太適合生存了，所以要變?yōu)榇簌i，展翅高飛。鯤鵬比喻的是人要隨機(jī)應(yīng)變，不能過于保守。窮則變，變則通。但這里有個(gè)認(rèn)知問題，為什么魚能變成大鵬，這其實(shí)說的是我們在游泳的時(shí)候，也要努力學(xué)會(huì)飛。為什么肖申克的救贖中，主角最終能夠獲得自由，是相比其他的人（鯤）而言，他具有別人沒有的能力（展翅高飛）。又讓我想起莊子說的，無用之用，方為大用。

希望大家在空閑之時(shí)，多修煉自己的飛翔能力吧，必然會(huì)在若干年后有意外的驚喜。
