In this module, you will learn about the human person’s freedom. It is important to know about
this topic to help gain new experiences in life that you may have ever dreamed of. Such
experiences may excite or challenge you, while some can make you rethink your life and
decisions.
What’s In
If you have already asked yourself those big questions, then you have already engaged in philosophy.
 What is human and their environment?

 Is it helpful to protect the creation of our mighty God?
 How do you apply it in everyday life?
Find out the answers in this lesson!
What’s New
Learn about it! ( Discussion)
Doing philosophy helps you think many things, including those that leave you confused or
without an acceptable answer. You can do philosophy by yourself, with a partner, or with a
group. The learner shows situations that demonstrate freedom of choices and the
consequences of choices. The learner is able to understand that doing philosophy within the
context of the human person as free, intersubjective, immersed in society and oriented
towards their impending death will lead to a deeper understanding of the human person.
What is the will of its existence, nature and object?
What is human acts and voluntariness?
What is actions and its consequences?
What is freedom of will?
What is It
THE WILL: ITS EXISTENCE, NATURE AND OBJECT

iv
 The will in philosophy and psychology, is a term used to describe the faulty of mind that is alleged
to stimulate motivation of purposeful activity.
 The concept has been variously interpreted by philosophers, some accepting the will as a
personal faulty or function (for example, Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes and kant)
 And other seeing it as the externalized result of the interaction of conflicting elements (for
example, Spinoza, Leibniz, and Huma).
Thomas Aquinas ‘ Ideas the will and Human Freedom
 Five stages of a Human Act (from perception to action of the will).

 Stage 1. Intellect – apprehends a situation and determines that a particular end is
appropriate (good) for given circumstances.
Will – approves a simple volition for that end (or can reject, change the subject, ect.)
 Stage 2. Intellect – determines that the end can be achieved, is within the power of the
agent.
Will – Intention: to achieve the end through some means
 Stage 3. Intellect – counsel: determines various means to achieve the end
Will – accepts these means (or can ask for more means)
 Stage 4. Intellect – determines the best means for the given circumstances.
Will – electio(choice): selects the means the intellect proposes as best.
 Stage 5. Intellect – command: says “Do the best means!”
Will – Use: exercises control over the body or mind as needed.
HUMAN ACTS AND VOLUNTARINESS
 We have human dignity because we are intelligent and free persons, capable of determining
our own lives by our own free choices.
 We give this dignity to ourselves by freely choosing to shape our lives and actions in accord
with truth; that is, by making good moral choices. Such choices are in turn dependent upon
true moral judgments. These choices performed as free persons are called human acts.
CITY OF ANGELS
 The only thing that separates us from angels is …freedom/free will

from the latin word VOLUNTAS
ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
ACTIONS AND CONSEQUENCES:

 All our actions (spoken and physical) have consequences. Some are good (positive) and
some bad(negative).
 Consequences are a result or an effect.
 It is important to try to behave in a way that has positive consequences.
FREEDOM OF THE WILL
Freedom in general means the absence of resistant. There are different kinds of restraint
and freedom.
 Physical freedom is the absence of physical restraint and freedom. When a prisoner is
released from prison, he is physically free, since he is no longer restrained by the prison
walls.
iv
 Moral freedom is the absence of moral restraint, of an obligation, of a law. Thus in this
country we are morally free to citizen the government.
ARGUMENT FROM COMMON CONSENT
 The great majority of men believe that their will is free. This conviction is of the utmost
practical importance for the whole of human life.
 Therefore, if there is order in the world, the majority of mankind cannot be wrong in this belief.
Hence, the will is free.
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ARGUMENT
 We have said that most people naturally hold that the will is free.
 Men are directly and indirectly aware of their freedom in the very act of making a free
decision; they are indirectly aware of it because of the many instances of the behavior which
can only be explained by admitting the freedom of the will.
THE ETHICAL ARGUMENT
 If there is no freedom, there is no moral responsibility no virtue, no merit, no moral obligation,

no duty, no morality.
 The necessary connection between freedom and the spiritual realities is quite obvious and is
demonstrated in ethics.
