O mocy Bożej. Luis de Molina i Domingo Banez
On God’s power. Luis de Molina and Domingo Banez

Summary/Abstract: “The era of progress” turned thinkers’ attention to the spheres in which a new idea began to emerge – the idea of freedom. It determined new human activity in the domains which could start to be practiced autonomously. The changes also influenced the study of the ideas of free will and freedom. The category of the individual’s free will confronted with God’s omnipotence became to dominate the discussion. The new way of thinking about human freedom resulted in the disputes continued within the Christian philosophical trend. The first serious conflict arose in the 16th century between Erasmus of Rotterdam – the Humanist and Martin Luther – the Reformer, and the other – in the 17th century between Luis de Molina – the Jesuit and Domingo Bañez – the Dominican. The paper is an attempt to illustrate the latter dispute, of Molina and Bañez.
