Summary "A Review of Edwards's 'Inquiry into the Freedom of the Will'" by Henry Philip Tappan is a philosophical critique and examination of Jonathan Edwards's theories on the nature of will and moral responsibility, written in the early 19th century. The work addresses the complex interactions between human choice, psychological principles, and theological concerns, particularly as they relate to concepts of free will and determinism. Tappan aims to unpack and clarify Edwards's ideas, evaluating the implications of accepting a self-determining will. At the start of the text, Tappan introduces the primary objective of his review: to systematically analyze Edwards's theories about the will as presented in his original work. He emphasizes the importance of approaching the subject of will from a psychological standpoint rather than merely a theological one, urging a clear understanding of the will's nature and functions. Tappan outlines his intended sections, which include a statement of Edwards's system, the consequences of this system, and a critical assessment of the arguments surrounding the self-determining will, setting the stage for a thorough exploration of the philosophical issues tied to human freedom and moral agency.
