| Summary: | "This book serves as an inquiry respecting the self-determining power of the will which is also known as contingent volition. It begins by presenting introductory observations of President Edwards. It continues on by expounding upon the powers of the mind. In following segments it explains more fully the concept of self-determination, influence of motives, then liberty and necessity. Ability and inability along with consciousness and accountability are explored in later chapters. The subjects of common sense, mechanical and physical agency as well as the moral government of God are defined in detail. Activity and dependence, fatalism and pantheism, ending with the testimony of scripture conclude the aim of this book"--Book. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) |
