Human Intellect and Will in the Reformed Tradition
The Reformed tradition emphasizes that human intellect and will play a crucial role in understanding free will. Figures like Perkins, Turritin, and Calvin focus on the relationship between reason and will in determining free actions. They argue that the human will can choose based on reasons provided by the mind, aligning with the doctrine that an individual acts freely when acting from reasons and engaging the will.
