Unlock the mystery of Free Will and its place in science, philosophy, and life.
This work centers on the problem of freedom as one of the seven world riddles, guiding readers through a clear, step‑by‑step examination of what it means to choose.
This edition presents a concrete look at Scholastic philosophy and its method. It explains terms, clarifies different kinds of freedom, and shows how free will challenges materialist views. It combines careful definitions with discussions of conscious experience, rational choice, and the limits of evidence.
- How freedom is defined and distinguished from related ideas like spontaneity and independence
- The three kinds of freedom and why the second—freedom of choice—matters most in this discussion
- Ways philosophers have argued for and against free will, including a priori and a posteriori approaches
- How consciousness, reason, and evidence are used to assess whether free will can exist
Ideal for readers of philosophy, ethics, and debates about whether humans act with genuine choice.
