Philosophy Friday: Human Freedom and Divine Universal Causality ft. W. Matthews Grant
Dr. W. Matthews Grant joins The Pat Flynn show to discuss the work he's done on libertarian human freedom and divine universal causality. In other words, does God being the cause of all things aside himself preclude genuine human freedom? Dr. Grant argues to the contrary and sketches a model -- which he calls the Dual Sources account -- for how classical theism defeats determinism and leaves room for libertarian agency.
