Abstract

The question of human freedom or free choice more or less laid in classical Christian theology and modern physical science- asserts itself today primarily through the claims of modern psychological theory. The question of being basically free or unfree turns upon the access that a person has to Ms own unconscious motivations, i.e., to his own psychic set. It is the intent of this paper to argue that this set, which dominates all critical choices, is itself subject to change through "the converting choice"; thus giving man final control over his own character and over the truly important choices that he occasionally is called upon to make.
