it is the former‚ however Desiderius Erasmus would argue for the latter. Although I tend to side more on Erasmus’s side of the debate‚ there are aspects of both authors writing that I agree with‚ and aspects of both that I disagree with in their “Discourse on Free Will.” Luther went into great detail to explain that human beings do not have free will.

lived from 1596 to 1650. He was rather famous for his works‚ which were published majorly after his death. In this paper‚ I will be arguing Descartes’ method of doubt as well as evaluating his approach to finding the truth of all knowledge.
