Will, Freedom, and Destiny

Will, Freedom, and Destiny presents a comprehensive view of free will in Judaism. The fundamental questions of freedom and foreknowledge, the interaction between one person's free will and another's destiny, free will's boundaries and innate moral knowledge are explored in the light of classic Jewish sources, some presented for the first time in English. The subject is not only philosophical; its practical applications include controlling the will in overcoming ordeals, asserting the will against the attack of fantasy and illusion, consistently translating will into action and perhaps most important, elevating the will in a revolutionary agenda of personal development.
