Libertad y necesidad en Thomas Bradwardine

Abstract

Thomas Bradwardine was -perhaps whith William of Ockham- the greatest thinker of the fourteenth century. His influence was felt in the fields oflogic, science (mathematics and fhysics), and theology. His most important book is DE CAUSA DEI CONTRA PELLAGIUM ET DE VIRTUTE CAUSARUM. In this work, he addresses an issue that had already been thoroughly discussed amongst philosophers (and that will be revisited, especially in the 16'h, J7'h and IS'h centuries): the problem of human freedom and the need to reconcile necessity and liberty.
