Sample text

First, by appealing to hypothetical necessity to define destiny. The Fatum mahometum is an absolute necessity imposed on individuals. The same holds of the Fatum stoicum, with this difference that it is attenuated by being voluntarily endured. ” It designates the certain destiny of all things regulated by the decrees of God according to the moral necessity of the best. 24 On these already established grounds, a new argument is grafted, a purely practical argument. The future is predetermined, but the individual cannot know his future.

And all these reasons for determination which appear different converge finally like lines upon one and the same centre; for there is a truth in the future event which is predetermined by the causes, and God pre-establishes it in establishing the causes. (Theodicy, “Preface,” 54) Divine foreknowledge, the necessity of causes, the truth of future contingents. These are the three reasons in favor of declaring the future necessary and, in consequence, they represent the three principal objections to human freedom.

So, “when one asserts that a free event cannot be foreseen, one is confusing freedom with indetermination, or with indifference that is complete and in equipoise” (Theodicy, art. 369, 346).  . : For example, when Abiathar prophesied by divine inspiration to David that the citizens of Ziclag would deliver him to the besieger Saul if Saul came to Ziclag, the philosophers did not know what to do. 8 For man as for God, being free means choosing what appears to be the best possible alternative. The difference is that God’s freedom is infallible whereas man’s freedom can be mistaken in taking the worse for the better.
