Resumo:  Current paper analyzes Anselm of Canterbury’s solution to the deep ethical issue on the harmony of God’s foreknowledge with human freedom. Structured within the framework of a medieval quaestio, the dialectic reflection of the Benedictine monk from Bec acknowledges that future events happen necessarily, whereas free-will fails to act by necessity. Anselm acknowledges the power of free-will within God’s perspective and confirms God’s providential design derived from his eternal wisdom. Human acts are free because God knows them beforehand and predestines them as such. He does not want that humans be forced or moved by any necessity. The discussion was analyzed in Anselm´s last theological work called The Harmony of Foreknowledge, Predestination and the Grace of God with Free Choice, written in 1103.

A reflexão dialética do monge beneditino de Bec, estruturada na perspectiva da quaestio medieval, reconhece que os eventos futuros ocorrem de modo necessário enquanto que o livre-arbítrio não realiza nenhuma ação por necessidade. Anselmo reconhece o poder da vontade diante de Deus e confirma o desígnio providencial de Deus, decorrente de sua eterna sabedoria. As ações humanas são livres porque Deus as sabe de antemão, e as predestina como tais, porque ele quer que a vontade humana não seja coagida ou movida por nenhuma necessidade. Essa discussão é formulada na última obra de Anselmo, datada de 1103 e intitulada o Acordo da presciência, predestinação e graça de Deus com o livre-arbítrio. Universidade Estadual De Maringá2018-07-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciHumanSocSci/article/view/3942610.4025/actascihumansoc.v40i1.39426Acta Scientiarum.
