What is Augustine's view on free will?

Augustine claimed that without the will, “man cannot live rightly.” He affirms in yet another place, “We could not act rightly except by this free choice of will.”10 The logic here is simple: man cannot choose the good without having the ability to choose.

When did Augustine write on free choice of the will?

Although the first book of On the Free Choice of the Will was written in 387, the latter two books were not completed until 391-395.

What is the will according to Augustine?

The will, Augustine argues in this early writings, was given to humankind as a good gift from God, and he presents a vivid and alluring picture of its integrity. The will is powerful, autonomous and active. It has the potential for both good and evil, it mirrors the divine will, and it enjoys complete self-possession.

Where does Augustine talk about free will in confessions?

Extract from Augustine's Retractions (Book II, Chapter 66): There are some persons who suppose that the freedom of the will is denied whenever God's grace is maintained, and who on their side defend their liberty of will so peremptorily as to deny the grace of God.
