Abstract
First, I sketch out main ideas of Suarez concerning the concept of freedom in his Disputations 18th and 19th and his commentary on Aristotle’s De Anima. I elucidate how his metaphysical and non-theological understanding of freedom is. Second, I clarify how Thomas Pink’s categorization of Suarezean concept of freedom could be insufficient regarding the difference between Suarez’s and Thomas Aquinas’s foundations of deliberate acts.
