Abstract

The priority of thought over will, or vice versa, has been the subject of long-standing disputes, as the philosophers have for the most part supported the priority of thought and a certain group of theologians argued for the priority of will. Considering will as prior to thought, the latter have argued that Devine Providence is prior to Devine Knowledge and Wisdom. We can find a similar idea among the philosophers of modern times, of whom we will refer to Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and some others.
