'Explanation' is answer to the question why it is what it is, and to 'explain' is an attempt to answer to the question. When the side of the word 'explanation' is emphasized, it is assumed that an ideal type of explanation for academic studies is to give the answer 'Why is the things like what it is?' as universally and objectively as possible, in a way that everybody can understand. Then, what kind of form does the explanation that has the universality and validity takes. And how could we explain in that way? This paper deals with an argument of determinism and libertarianism as a sample of the problem in this theme. On the basis of this argument, I try to put it in perspective of the origin of our attitude of seeking free, because it seems that it is not until we have a certain anxiety that the necessity to insist on being free appears. In addition, this anxiety appears when one has difficulty in explaining the question about the appearance of things 'Why is it what it is?'
