Product Description

Excerpt from An Inquiry Respecting the Self-Determining Power of the Will: Or Contingent Volition Soon after the publication of Henry's translation of Cousin's Psychology, I undertook to write a review of the work, for the Christian Spectator. Before coming to the chapter which treats of the Freedom of the Will, in the latter part of the book, the review had already been extended so far, that there was not room left to do justice, at that time, to so difficult a subject. It was, therefore, passed without notice. I have since been apprehensive, that from this omission, an inference might perhaps be drawn, that I acquiesce in the opinions there presented by Cousin. Long continued ill health, and urgent official engagements, have prevented an earlier expression of my own views on the subject. In endeavoring to give it a fair examination, I have not thought it necessary to confine my observations to a review of Cousin. The self-determining power of the will is a subject which is intimately connected with many of the theological discussions of the present day. Yet there are reasons for believing that it is not, in all points of view, generally and clearly understood.
