Note 27 — Chapter VI · MORAL AGENCY.
Reading edition
This feature is recognized in what is usually termed "formal freedom," i. e. that psychical capacity of rational choice which is essentially formative of "personality." To lose this would be the loss of personality. Whether the power of free choice between good and evil is impaired in man's corrupt state, being put in bondage or subserviency to a depraved love of sin, is quite a different question.
