Meaning of albedrío by John Rene Plaut

ALBEDRÁO of the Latin arbitrium meaning decision, and this, in turn of arbiter, which means judge. It is synonymous with freedom, but restricted to the ability to have or not the possibility to decide of their own will to do ritary or punishable things. A central theme in religions and philosophy, because deterministic philosophies and religions, (see DETERMINISM) as are Hindus, establish that things are given and man cannot change his other. So, if there is no free will, or freedom to decide between doing good or evil, we are not worthy to be appreciated for our goodness, but also for our evils. Science investigates humans as a chemical laboratory that is continuously generating chemical reactions that generate rabies, fear, joy and other feelings and states that, in fact, we are not how independent we believe we are and that we react to stimuli according to our physiological structure.
