Takeaway Assignment Question 7

Sophocles,Nishitani ,Edwards, Augustine and Iqbal ; are all household names to the

ancient great philosophers and intellectuals that happened to be also writers .though they are by

now all dead ,they have all been involved in a number of great works and discussions that which

at some point proved very crucial to the society (Murray, 46). They all happen to have had some

touch on the topics involving forbearance, destiny, predestination and the spirit of free will. This

writing is a conclusive analysis of these very crucial topics in the views as laid out by all these

philosophers.

Sophocles goes on record to have stated that fate will always come out on top at any time.

He believes that nothing can ever beat fate, it has a way of always winning. He also has a very

candid expression on the issues to do with free will. He says that free will tell if you can take the

opportunities availed as a result of fate.it is the ability to decide on your own way. He states that

the presences of free will in the nature guided the universe. That his destiny was entirely

dependent on one’s own doing.

Iqbal being one of the ancient philosophers and an intellect, he had a lot to do with

literature writings that through which he was able to express his view on fatalism, destiny,

predestination and the free will (Boodts, & Anthony, 177).all these views were majorly

expressed in a more scholastic manner. It’s believed to Iqbal, all this happenings related to one

another .that the occurrence of one consequently resulted to another.

Edwards; he had a thinking that taking in best suited modes of operation in a way really

did matter to both the possibility of fatalism,destiny,predestination and the spirit of free will.as

he believes that with proper packing you are able to increase the quality and in the same process

cut on the losses.

Augustine; being one the most unmatched catholic cleric and a philosopher he had so

much towards the strengthening of the white’s philosophy (Al-Azhari, & Muhammad, 101). His

perspectives on the fatalism, destiny, free will and predestination are all defined in religious

perspective. He had a strong and unwinding believe in the utmost being that led to the happening

of everything. He believed that destiny and predestination were all under control of the almighty.

In conclusion it’s more logical to settle on Edwards thinking which calls that everything

is well determined by the effort exerted by an individual .it’s more really as it has been proven

that hard work does pay.
