Anselm Of Canterbury, On Freedom Of Choice - Freedom Of Choice And Rectitude Of Will

Sadler's Lectures - A podcast by Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

Categories:

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Medieval philosopher, theologian, and Benedictine monk Anselm of Canterbury's dialogue, On Freedom of Choice (the second work in a trilogy including On Truth and On The Fall of the Devil) It focuses specifically on his discussion of rectitude or rightness of will (rectitudo voluntatis) and its relation with freedom of choice (libertas arbitrii). Anselm has the teacher and student in the dialogue sort through for possibilities for why rightness of will was given to rational beings (i.e. humans and the angels) To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 1500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Anselm's Works - https://amzn.to/2ZnZRcu
