This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, On Free Choice of the Will.

It focuses specifically his discussion in book 1 about the good will and what it consists in. For Augustine the good will in not only a will by which we strive to live rightly, in accordance with the eternal law, but also is something reflexive - that is, the good will wills to maintain itself when it has to choose between the good will and temporal goods.
