In this book Tobias Hoffmann studies the medieval free will debate
during its liveliest period, from the 1220s to the 1320s, and
clarifies its background in Aristotle, Augustine, and earlier
medieval thinkers. Among the wide range of authors he examines are
not only well-known thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus,
and William of Ockham, but also a number of authors who were just
as important in their time and deserve to be rediscovered today. To
shed further light on their theories of free will, Hoffmann also
explores their competing philosophical explanations of the fall of
the angels, that is, the hypothesis of an evil choice made by
rational beings under optimal psychological conditions. As he
shows, this test case imposed limits on tracing free choices to
cognition. His book provides a comprehensive account of a debate
that was central to medieval philosophy and continues to occupy
philosophers today.
