Abstract

Is everything what is happening or existing in the world determined by a causal relation and every process in nature as well as in spiritual life is thus based on given laws or is there -at least to a certain degree - coincidence, self-will or freedom? Physicists have allways dealt with such and similar questions, which are in their principle related to the problem of validity of the causality law, or - in general - determinism or indeterminism. In Max Planck times, these questions were often discussed in natural sciences and Planck himself presented various lectures on this topic. He illustrates the problem with many fictive cases as well as concrete examples and handles it in a rather amenable way. This paper deals with Planck's view on the the law of causality, with the position of causality in physics in general (which draws the attention to the idea of "physical world-view/physikalische Weltbild") as well as with the possible extent of compatibility between the law of causality and human freedom. Planck's constant polemics with positivism and the followers of indeterminism is thus implicitly present in my argumentation.
