Relationship between Divine Will and Human Will 2 - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief Relationship between Divine Will and Human Will 2 2022-10-09 370 Views Divine Will , Human will In this part of the article titled “Divine Will and Human will”, we shall continue about the relationship between the two elaborately. Contents The Will of Essence The Generative Will of Action The Legislative Will of Action c.

Certain causes are dependent on other ones in efficacy but without such a dependency in their existences such as the roles that human volition, the motion of the hand, etc.

play in producing writing [in which case the will to write propels the hand into motion, which in turn moves the pen, and which in turn makes ink marks on the paper that constitute the writing] or such as the soldier’s obeying his superior [in which case, the soldier’s will to perform a certain action depends on the superior giving an order but the soldier’s existence itself does not depend on the superior’s existence]. d.

Two sets of causes are at work in generating one effect in the same mode and from the same aspect which is technically referred to as “the concurrence of two complete causes in generating one effect.” An example of this would be a single piece of writing on one specific corner of a sheet of paper, written by two writers writing simultaneously. Or if one particular plant were to grow by the work of two [distinct and independent] groups of causes—e.g. soil, farmer, seed, etc.—simultaneously.

In this case, “mutual exclusion” would result, and thus [the actualization of] this case is impossible. For, the agency [i.e.

the work, the acting] of each set would bar the agency of the other set, resulting in either one rendering the other ineffective (which would mean that two complete causes have not actually concurred and only one has produced the effect unilaterally) or both mutually hindering the agency of one another (which would mean that neither of the complete causes has been actualized so as to take part in creating an effect). Therefore, as this case is impossible, there is no actual instance of it. e.

Several sets of causes, vertically associated, generate a single effect, in such a manner that the inferior cause is dependent upon the superior in its existence as well as in its agency [or efficacy]; such as the relation between the grandparents and the parents in the procreation of the latter’s children.
