Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] How is it possible to reconcile God's omniscience with the freedom of human beings? After all, if God knows from eternity the outcome of history, is it not all already written, immutable and therefore vain our claim to be protagonists of our destiny? Similar questions have plagued theologians, philosophers and believers of all times - even outside the Christian faith. The question is crucial and touches on two cornerstones of what, a bit hastily, we could call the religious conception of the world: the existence of a supreme entity that knows everything and the possibility on the part of human beings (but also of other entities personal) to self-determine their lives. The aim of this work is to provide a brief but updated review of the philosophical treatises on the problem of divine omniscience and human freedom.
