Abstract

This paper takes Suarez's interesting concept of freedom in order to discuss what human free will is and how it is concordant with divine predestination and grace. After analyzing the concept of freedom and connecting the structure of action with contemporary views of rationality (rational choice), the paper shows how Suarez's theory can actually be used (against the original intentions of the author) to prove that there can be predestination without transgressing human free will.
