Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of human agency in the context of metaphysical and theological discourse. The author, examining the relationship between volition and free will, challenges the widely held assumption that our choices are the direct consequence of motives. Drawing on logic and introspective thought experiments, the book presents a different conception of free will and moral responsibility. It argues that the mind, as an active power, is capable of willing without the influence of external causation. This insight challenges traditional conceptions of moral obligation and the nature of sin, suggesting that human beings possess a genuine capacity for moral choice and are therefore accountable for their actions. Ultimately, this book provides a fresh perspective on the age-old questions of free will and moral responsibility, shedding light on the profound complexities of human nature.
