Anselm Of Canterbury, On Freedom Of Choice - Willing To Abandon Rectitude Of Will

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Medieval philosopher, theologian, and Benedictine monk Anselm of Canterbury's dialogue, On Freedom of Choice (the second work in a trilogy including On Truth and On The Fall of the Devil)

It focuses specifically on his discussion of how a person who possesses rectitude or rightness of will (rectitudo voluntatis) can abandon that rectitude. According to Anselm, a person cannot be forced to do so, although they can be placed in a situation of forced choice or difficulty, and then willingly abandon that rectitude by choosing something else instead of it
