On Freedom of Choice

St. Anselm of Canterbury

This book is in Portuguese.

Anselm’s dialogue between teacher and student on free will, defined as the power of keeping the rightness of the will for the sake of that rightness itself, and why the power to sin is no part of it. Latin only, from the Migne text (Patrologia Latina 158, 1853), a machine-corrected OCR.
