The First World War

[Oleander Ardens]

While I have not the time to enlight you about Tolstoy and his determinism I can perhaps show the fallacy to state that because there was a war it was inevitable. If your logic would be valid I could start to point out that practically every action and show we can thinkk off was inevitable because it happened, going all the spectrum from an highly probable result to an highly inprobable one. Even a 99,9% chance doesn't mean it is inevitable, and what about a 96,7% or 91,8% one? At which percentage mark does the category "inevitable" end? You could also not allow human choice to play a part, because with an inevitable result all the choices of the actors in question are unable to influence the outcome. With such a doomed vision there it is also hard to argue about the guilt/sin of the actors. But I will stop here, too much of a Hegelian discourse to bear too long.
