Translated, with Introduction, by Thomas Williams

"Over the years that I've been teaching—nearly 44 at this point—I've come to rely on Hackett for editions of classical texts that are well done and affordable. For example, I greatly appreciate C.D.C. Reeve's the Republic, and I've used it as a text in my ancient and medieval philosophy class. The copy I just received of Augustine's On the Free Choice of the Will, translated and annotated by Thomas Williams, continues the Hackett tradition of affordable excellence."

—Frank Fair, Sam Houston State University

"Translated with an uncanny sense for the overall point of Augustine's doctrine. In short, a very good translation. The Introduction is admirably clear."

—Paul Vincent Spade, Indiana University
