Free Will and the Rebel Angels in Medieval Philosophy

Beschreibung

This is the first book in English investigating the medieval debate about free will, one of the central themes in medieval philosophy. It sheds new light particularly on how medieval thinkers dealt with the most difficult test case for free will: the possibility of angels - i.e., ideal agents - choosing evil.
