| Sumario: | This research aims to delve into the central concept of medieval Christian philosophy, namely, Free Will. In order to achieve this, it is pertinent to provide a brief introduction about what this concept implies for Western culture and philosophical thought in general. To accomplish this, a brief archaeology of the concept is presented,revealing traces that date back to Ancient Greece, more precisely to Aristotelian thought. It is argued that its origins stem from a different and earlier context, but it is the endeavor of medieval Christian thinkers that presents the novelty of the concept along with all the surrounding issues.With this in mind, the study is specifically situated within the extensive work of the philosopher of Canterbury, St. Anselm. Based on this, the Anselmian methodology known as sola ratio is demonstrated, along with its particular dynamics. Subsequently, a connection is established between Free Will and the concept of God. |
