📖 1. Fate and Free Will

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Fate: The idea that future events are predetermined and unavoidable, often controlled by gods or cosmic forces. Example: Apollo’s prophecy about Oedipus’s future reflects fate’s inescapable nature.

  • Free Will: The capacity of individuals to make choices independent of predestined outcomes. Example: Oedipus’s decisions to seek the truth demonstrate human agency.

  • Prophecy: A divine prediction about future events, which may influence human actions or appear self-fulfilling. Example: The prophecy that Oedipus would kill his father and marry his mother.

  • Blindness (Physical and Spiritual): Physical blindness symbolizes ignorance or lack of insight; spiritual blindness refers to ignorance of one’s true nature or fate. Example: Tiresias is physically blind but spiritually insightful; Oedipus is physically sighted but spiritually blind.

  • Determinism vs. Agency: The debate whether human actions are determined by fate or if individuals can exercise free will to alter outcomes. Example: Oedipus’s attempts to escape his fate highlight this tension.
