Summary/Abstract: The article presents a problem of will included in III part of Forefathers’ Eve (Dziady. Część III). The Ghost in Prolog indicated that man, through his will, can successfully affect history and participate in eternal fight between good and evil. This perception of will corresponds with Jakub Böhme’s neognostic interpretation. In the theosoper’s opinion, the man can direct his will to either good or evil, and not only his salvation depends on it but also the world’s history.
