Cartesian Optics

For Rene Discardings, the freedom is entirely linked to the free will, but as Discardings understand the freedom concept? For it, is when if he can affirm or to deny, to make something or to leave to make, without the intervention of some bigger force (either divine or not), thus, being able to choose any proposal deliberately, in other words: ‘ ‘ so that I am free, it is not necessary that I am indifferent in the one choice or another one of the two contrary; but, before, the more I to tend for one, either because I know evidently that the good and the true one meet there, either because God make use thus the interior of my thought, in such a way more freely I will choose it and abraarei.’ ‘ (DISCARDINGS, 1971) However, Discardings affirm that a contrary ramification exists when it is about the freedom concept that are: High degree of freedom and the low degree of freedom. The high degree of freedom, is when it is about the free will, that is, the individual freedom of choice. For example, when for personal account somebody decides for which course intends to concur for the vestibular contest. Already the low degree of freedom is exactly the opposite, therefore, a certain interference exists on its choice. In this in case that, leaving of the previous example, we could say that this happens when father or some another familiar one demands that one same person makes medicine and not philosophy. Therefore the freedom concept is composed for the espontaneidade and will slight knowledge free.

This means that, from the will notion free (to be able absolute of choice), the consent to a clear idea and distinct perceived by the reason can be denied. However, on the other hand, the general rule of the truth affirms that everything what it will be conceived as clearly and distinct is true e, therefore, must be followed a consent of the will.. .
