The will is the power to have wants which only the intellect can frame. It does not take any intellectual ability to desire a plate of meat in front of one; but only an intellectual being can want to worship God or square the circle." The primary source is question 80 of Summa Theologiae. | |

| Jun 7, 2018 at 16:15 | comment | added | Gordon | This may help a bit: Acquinasonline: aquinasonline.com/Topics/freewill.html The linked article discusses the Will. It also helps to have some knowledge of Augustine. Perhaps such a book as "Augustine" by Richard Price, Triumph 1996, where predestination is discussed. | |
