Gaven suggests that movement of the will is nothing more than the intellectual apprehension of the hood as good, so is moved by that. But consider a situation where a coworker brought in a dozen donuts and you realize that no matter which donut you choose, you will experience a great good of a glazed donut. However, it seems you still must choose between the goods and pick one of the dozen to take for yourself. I’d argue that would be an act of the will that cannot fully be reduced to the apprehension of the good, since every donut within your reach would be considered equally good by you.
This was a great stream; thank you to both Pat and Gaven for being generous with their time and fielding such questions. We also appreciate Gaven's responses to our questions and as well as the time he takes out of his day as an academic to help guide non-academics in the philosophy of religion and other broader fields of inquiry.
If one`s intellect and will can not change because they are eternal how can one learn anything or will anything different?
If christ is at the end of time does that not entail a rejection of presentism?
Gaven is a great communicator. Very fast thinker
