Whether free choice embraces both faculties or the will alone; Durandus gives freedom first to reason
A further question is whether free choice is made up of both faculties and belongs to both, or must be confined to the will alone.
Some held that it includes both mind and will. Durandus, a teacher of high standing in the Roman School, was of this view. He said that reason, and not the will only, is free 'formally', to use their term, and indeed that freedom belongs to reason first and more fully than to the will.
Latin
IV. Sed ulterius quaeritur an liberum arbitrium utraque facultate constet, & an utraque ad ipsum pertineat, An vero sit ad solam voluntatem restringendum. Nonnulli, ut Durandus in Schola Romana Doctor magni nominis, existimaverunt liberum Arbitrium facultatem utramque complecti, mentem, scilicet, atque voluntatem: neque voluntatem solam, sed etiam rationem esse formaliter, ut loquuntur, liberam: imo libertatem prius & magis convenire rationi quam voluntati.
