Thesis Summary
This page links the fate in the hereafter to righteous action and rejects reports that are understood as denying the effect of work or making destiny predetermined in advance. Individual responsibility remains part of the meaning of recompense.
Foundational Atoms
Place of Reliance within the Book
The summary relies on the opening sections of the book and on its treatments in the final part, where the text connects work and recompense and discusses what negates the role of work.
Limits of the Reading
What is meant here is the rejection of absolute determinism, not a denial of mercy. The reading therefore remains within what the atoms mention regarding the effect of work and human responsibility.
