QUESTION 83

OF FREE-WILL

(In Four Articles)

We now inquire concerning free-will. Under this head there are four

points of inquiry:

(1) Whether man has free-will?

(2) What is free-will--a power, an act, or a habit?

(3) If it is a power, is it appetitive or cognitive?

(4) If it is appetitive, is it the same power as the will, or

distinct?
