Theological determinism resulting from God's causality and its predeinistic solution in early New Ages scholasticism

Petr Dvořák

The paper deals with the problem of theological determinism. It formulates a specimen of deterministic argument based on the fact that in classical theism God is regarded as the First Cause, i.e. ontologically responsible for the being and specificity of every actual entity. Then it examines a compatibilist solution proposed by D. Alvarez in the early 17 th century. It is found to be acceptable only if some assumptions are granted. These are by no means obvious, nevertheless the final judgment is left to the reader to make.
