Abstract

This article aims to explore the concept of will in Pietro Pomponazzi, focusing on his treatise De fato, libero arbitrio et praedestinatione. Following the inherent dynamics of Pomponazzi’s thought, I examine the scope and limitations of the will within the realms of natural reason and theology. These two domains, clearly delineated and frequently in conflict in his work, form the basis for understanding the nuances of will. The study unfolds in two parts, initially addressing the will within the domain of natural reason and subsequently delving into its theological dimension. Finally, the translation of the quaestio “Utrum detur voluntas agens” from MS Paris, BnF, lat. 6449, is appended.
