On the Hoax of Human Freedom

Recently wrote a paper on the Determinism/Freedom paradox from the pov's of the Jewish medieval philosopher and religious authority Maimonides and the later Jewish heretic/philosopher Spinoza. The readings I went through for my research were eye-openers. I also discovered a whole genre of philosophical writings I had no idea existed like the Journal of the History of Philosophy, etc. My thesis? Too convoluted to get into here. I'll say only that it confirmed what I had long suspected: that freedom is that necessary illusion, similar to the necessary if untrue beliefs Maimonides espouses in his Guide.
