La liberté de la volonté dans la vision béatifique: Suárez critique d'Ockham

The beatific vision is the clear and supernatural contemplation of God’s essence. Necessarily, therefore, it comes with infinite enjoyment (fruitio). In scholastic thought, enjoyment is generally considered as an act of the will. So the question is: is the will free, if it is necessarily enjoying God in the beatific vision? And if it is not free, whence does the necessity stem? The present study deals with these questions through Su.rez’s criticism of Ockham.
