An Inquiry Respecting the Self-Determining Power of the Will: Or Contingent Volition (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book revisits the philosophical debate on the causality of human volition. The author, an experienced theologian, questions the notion that the will is entirely self-determining and examines the implications of external factors on our choices. The book explores various theories on volition, including those of Edwards and Cousin, and argues that a contingent determination of volition is untenable. It examines the influence of motives and external circumstances on our decisions, challenging the idea that they are mere objects of choice and arguing that they play a significant role in shaping our actions. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of considering volitions as part of a complex causal chain, influenced by both internal and external factors, rather than as isolated, self-originating events.
