Abstract
Abstract
A correct understanding of human freedom presupposes the theory of synchronic contingency as is developed by John Duns Scótus (1266-1308). With regard to human freedom the following aspects must be distinguished: I. Formal freedom: for any act of the will it is true that the will has the ability to will its opposite at the same moment. II. Material freedom, which concerns the ability to realize the possible states of affairs chosen by the will.
