Augustine's dialogue De libero arbitrio (On Free Choice) is, with
his Confessions and City of God, one of his most important and
widely read works. It contains one of the earliest accounts of the
concept of 'free will' in the history of philosophy. Composed
during a key period in Augustine's early career, between his
conversion to Christianity and his ordination as a bishop, it has
often been viewed as a an incoherent mixture of his 'early' and
'late' thinking. Simon Harrison offers an original account of
Augustine's theory of will, taking seriously both the philosophical
arguments and literary form of the text. Relating De libero
arbitrio to other key texts of Augustine's, in particular the City
of God and the Confessions, Harrison shows that Augustine
approaches the problem of free will as a problem of knowledge: how
do I know that I am free?, and that Augustine uses the dialogue
form to instantiate his 'way into the will'.
