For the intellectually adventuresome, St. Thomas Aquinas defends the reality of human freedom in four major texts. See especially:
- Disputed Questions on Evil, qu. 6 ("Whether man has free choice of his acts or chooses of necessity");
- Disputed Questions on Truth, qu. 24, art. 1 ("Is man endowed with free choice?");
- Summa of Theology, First Part, qu. 83, art. 1 ("Whether man has free will?"); and
- Summa of Theology, First Part of the Second Part, qu. 13, art. 6 ("Whether man chooses of necessity, or freely?").
For further reading that is relevant to this topic, though in a more general way, I recommend Peter Kreeft’s C. S. Lewis for the Third Millennium: Six Essays on the Abolition of Man and Thomas Howard’s Chance or the Dance: A Critique of Modern Secularism.
