This essay hopes to serve as preparation for an appropriate answer, by examining some already known philosophical theses which have to do with the questions of physics.An object of my free will, however, is one which I have the physical capability of making some use of at will, since its use stands in my power (in potentia).Now, suppose there were things that by right should absolutely not be in our power, or, in other words, that it would be wrong or inconsistent with the freedom of all, according to universal law, to make use of them.
