An Inquiry Respecting the Self-Determining Power of the Will: Or Contingent Volition (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Exploring the core questions of will, motive, and moral responsibility, this study asks what truly guides human choice and how liberty and necessity relate to divine influence.
The work surveys competing views on self-determination and the role of motives, conscience, and divine providence in shaping volition, offering a thoughtful, accessible analysis for readers interested in philosophy, theology, and ethics.
In this edition, the discussion engages major topics from the self-determining power of the will to the moral government of God, Scripture testimony, and the practical implications for accountability and holiness. It frames these debates for a broad audience and traces their implications for everyday decision making.
- Clarifies different uses of liberty and necessity and what they imply for free will
- Examines how motives, affections, and external influences interact with volition
- Considers how divine influence and providence can shape or direct choices
- Discusses accountability, conscience, and practical implications for moral living
Ideal for readers of philosophy of mind, religious ethics, and historical theology seeking a clear, balanced treatment of a long-standing debate.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. 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.
