명리 운명론과 자유의지의 상호작용에 관한 고찰

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to illuminate the influence of fatalism on life and prevent the detriment of excessive reliance on fatalism driven by anxieties about the future. According to fatalism, one's destiny is determined at the moment of birth, implying that individuals with identical birth charts should follow similar life trajectories; however, diverse life paths exist. This signifies limitations in deterministic views of fate and the presence of various variables, including free will. Therefore, this study explores the existence and scope of free will within Myeongri fatalism, offering an in-depth examination of the interaction between fatalism and free will. To conduct this research, clinical data of individuals with identical birth charts leading different lives were analyzed to investigate the interplay between fatalism and free will through the influences of diverse internal circumstances and choices in crucial aspects such as family environment, occupation, and spouse selection. The results suggest that choices made through free will can foster the development of individual abilities and talents. Furthermore, the study concludes that Myeongri and free will are not contradictory concepts but can, in fact, mutually complement each other
