Will is autonomy; autonomy means self-determination (auto means self in this regard) towards an action, which is free by being unrestrained from other outside things or actions. Determination is also the same as directedness (the definition of intentionality) toward that actualisation. There is no greater freedom of will in any other than the Divine intellect, because the human intellect and followingly, will, is still informed by the potential intellect and is not self-informative and hence not autonomous in the divine sense of purely actual autonomy (which is will) in it's pure actuality which transcends every potentiality it actualises.
I think I missed your point here. Does God have will again now?
Jon Paul Wrote:I am not denying it, I am saying it exists, but that it is equal to his actions. Read my definition of will already.
Your personal defintion? Lol.
You mean the definition in the previous paragraph? I failed to see you prove anything in that paragraph. You stated that God has the freest form of will...?
Jon Paul Wrote:God is himself pure actuality; and is himself the highest measure of good and perfection.
Substantiate.
Quote:[...] afterlife [...]
The rest of this paragraph is null to me, as I cannot begin to understand how an eternal life can be viewed as a good thing.
