    Divine foreknowledge and human freedom in Leibniz philosophy
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2010) Çetin, İsmail; İlahiyat Fakültesi
    Philosophers and theologians wrestled with issues concerning free will and determinism, and they exercised a considerable skill and imagination in attempting to resolve them. They not only discussed, with great insight, the problems of causal determinism and the difficulties in ascribing truth value to sentences about the future, but, in addition, they pondered yet another form of determinism: Whether God’s foreknowledge determines all events in the World. Although contemporary philosophers have addressed this issue, the attention given it between the fourth and the seventeenth centuries remains unequalled. This article aims to investigate seventeenth century philosopher Gottfried W. Leibniz’s discussion of divine foreknowledge and human freedom.
